The New England Patriots (12-4) will host the Tennessee Titans (9-7) in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
This will be the first time since 2009 that the Patriots didn’t get a first-round bye heading into the playoffs. It will make a much more difficult path to the Super Bowl, especially with Tennessee as the first matchup. New England’s defense has played excellent this season, but the offense has sputtered. Tom Brady doesn’t seem to have chemistry with a wide receiver not named Julian Edelman.
Tennessee is coming in as one of the hotter wild-card teams and its been lifted on the shoulders of Derrick Henry. The Titans’ running back rushed for 1,540 yards and an astounding 16 touchdowns. Ryan Tannehill is finding his groove in the system and Tennessee isn’t fearful heading into Gillette Stadium.
