The 10-2 New England Patriots are enjoying a strong season, while the struggling 2-10 New York Giants are stuck at the bottom of the standings.
Both teams faced challenges at the start of the 2025 season following a difficult 2024. However, over the past 12 games, Drake Maye and the Patriots have climbed to the top, sharing the best record in the AFC. Conversely, the Giants, with their disappointing six-game losing streak, find themselves firmly in the NFC East basement.
Tonight, they’re set to clash in Week 13 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. For both teams, there’s really not much at stake other than pride—New England is pretty much home free in terms of playoffs, and New York has already been eliminated.
Fans might want to pay attention to how rookie Jackson Dart performs in his first outing under interim head coach Mike Kafka, especially after spending two weeks on injured reserve.

“Cuff has been in this system for a while now, so he knows it really well,” Dart remarked. “Sure, there might be some changes, typical of any coach, but I have complete faith in Cuff. He’s done a solid job this year.”
