The Patriots are going for their 10th straight win — and this Giants team is nowhere near a typical 2–10 opponent. In today’s episode, Adam and Chris break down why New York is far more dangerous than their record, how the Patriots match up on both sides of the ball, and which players will decide Monday Night Football.

We dive into:

The Giants’ insane blown-lead history

EPA and advanced stats for both teams

Why this must be the week the Pats run the ball

Jackson Dart vs Drake Maye in primetime

Key players to watch (both teams)

Score predictions

And a full breakdown of AFC chaos — Chiefs, Bills, Texans, Steelers, Ravens and more

Thanks for listening — and we’ll be back Tuesday night with the Pats–Giants recap.

In today’s episode, we kick things off with our leftover thoughts from the Patriots’ win over the Bengals — what encouraged us, what still worries us, and how this team looks as the injuries pile up heading into the bye. We break down Drake Maye’s strange first quarter, the issues in the run game, the pass-rush concerns, and what this nine-game streak really means in the bigger picture.

Then we dive into a Thanksgiving draft, picking the things we’re most thankful for this season as Patriots fans — from the turnaround under Vrabel to the rise of Drake Maye and everything that’s made this year fun again.

We close out by previewing the full Thanksgiving and Black Friday slate, including Packers–Lions, Chiefs–Cowboys, Bengals–Ravens, and Bears–Eagles, and why this is the best holiday football lineup in years.

The Patriots move to 10-2, but it hardly feels like a celebration. In this episode of The Next Ring, Adam and Nick break down one of the strangest wins of the season — a 26–20 escape against a battered Bengals team that still managed to expose several Patriot flaws.

The guys dive into:

The devastating Will Campbell injury and what it means for the offensive line

Drake Maye’s most uneven performance of the year — from a brutal pick-six to clutch throws in key moments

The red-zone disaster at the 1-yard line (multiple times!)

Hunter Henry’s monster game

Marcus Jones flipping the entire afternoon with his pick-six and late pass breakups

Why this win felt more like a loss emotionally — and what it says about the Pats’ ceiling

The pass-rush drought, short-yardage woes, and the areas that suddenly look like major concerns

A win is a win, but this one was not fun.

Bru On Ball is now The Next Ring!

Plus, the guys revisit the Jets win, talk Milton Williams’ injury, and run through a rapid-fire Fact or Fiction across the NFL — from the Chiefs and Broncos to Sam Darnold, JJ McCarthy, Josh Allen, and more.
