While the Patriots had full attendance at practice, the Steelers were missing key players including QB Ben Roethlisberger and RB James Connor.

What a Sunday we had here in New England. Nick Quaglia, Marv Ezhan and Mike Molyneaux of CLNS Media talk about the three hottest topics in the world of the New England Patriots. 

First, we give full blown reaction to the Miami Miracle. What the hell happened? Is there one person to blame or a bunch? And why was Gronk on the field!?

Sunday was also filled with a bunch of questionable choices and decisions between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Which was worse?

And while things fell mostly in their favor if they were to lose, the Chiefs still pulled it out on Sunday. Did the Patriots loss to the Dolphins cost them any shot at the one seed? And with that, maybe even the Super Bowl?

Nick Quaglia, Marv Ezhan and Mike Molyneaux debate the hottest topics in the world of the New England Patriots.

The Patriots suffered a surprise injury on Friday, Stephon Gilmore was a last minute addition to the injury report and is questionable for Sunday's game during the Dolphins. With the Army-Navy game this weekend, the Patriots multiple connections to the rivalry reflected on what the game means to them.

As the Patriots turn their attention to the Miami Dolphins, the questions come about the team's recent struggles in the Sunshine State, specifically last year's loss at the hands of Jay Cutler. One thing on the Patriots side this year looks to be health, as the team had perfect attendance at practice on Wednesday, while the Dolphins had 14 players listed on the injury report.

The Patriots topped the Vikings 24-10 on Sunday in Foxboro. Tom Brady and the offense put the pedal to the metal early and often, and in turn the defense turned in one of their top performances of the year. Bill Belichick was in classic form after the game

The Patriots are nearly full go for Sunday's game against the Vikings, with Tom Brady, Julien Edelman, and Rob Gronkowski all expected to be 100%. Trey Flowers missed practice Friday, but it was not for injury reasons. For the Vikings, the statuses of Stefon Diggs and Xavier Rhodes are still unknown.

Nick Quaglia, Marv Ezhan and Mike Molyneaux debate the hottest topics of the week in the world of the New England Patriots.

Who's more vital to the Patriots 2018 success? Rob Gronkowski or Sony Michel? 

The Patriots are gaining ground and the Chiefs have a decently tough road ahead. Is it possible for the Patriots to grab the one seed in the AFC?

And we strayed away from complete Patriots talk this week. Baker Mayfield took some shots at his former head coach, Hue Jackson. Were they justified?

Rob Gronkowski is finally off the Patriots injury report after spending most of the season dealing with ankle and back issues. Tom Brady and Julian Edelman remain, with knee and foot injuries, respectively. New England's next opponent, the Minnesota Vikings, are dealing with plenty of injury issues, with Xavier Rhodes and Stefon Diggs missing practice Wednesday, while Adam Thielen was limited.
