The New England Patriots are heading back to a familiar place.
No, it's not the top of the draft -- although that has become an intriguing race. It's State Farm Stadium in Arizona, which hosted two of the most dramatic Super Bowls in NFL history. In 2008, the New York Giants ended the Patriots' undefeated season in that building. Seven years later, the Patriots flipped the script with a last-second win of their own over the Seattle Seahawks.
The Patriots have much less on the line in Week 15 when they visit the Arizona Cardinals, but it's still a big game nonetheless. Sitting at 3-10 and eliminated from playoff contention, the final four weeks of 2024 are all about Drake Maye. The rookie QB has shown promise in eight starts this season, and this last month will be critical for him to keep developing.

On the other side, the Cardinals are 6-7 as a postseason berth is slowly slipping away. Arizona controlled the NFC West not too long ago, but three straight losses have all but eliminated them. Kyler Murray and Co. are two games back, and the division-leading Seahawks own the tiebreaker -- effectively making it a three-game lead. Arizona is also two back in the wild card, so one more loss could be the final nail in the coffin.
