In Week 11, the Patriots did not take the field, maintaining their position in the NFL Draft.
During its bye week, New England (2-8), which would currently have the third overall pick, kept an eye on how the draft order was developing.
The Patriots trail the 2-9 Cardinals, who were defeated by the Texans, by a half-game and the Panthers (1-9) by one game for the NFL’s worst record. The Falcons, Packers, and Buccaneers have an advantage in tiebreakers despite the fact that six teams are tied at 4-6.The Giants (3-8) defeated the Commanders, 31-19, under the direction of rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito. New York rose to No. 5 in the draft order with an improved record of 3-8. The draft order will be significantly impacted by their Week 12 matchup at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
The Bears’ two outcomes favored their anticipated first and fourth-round selections. Their record dropped to 3-8 after they were defeated by the Lions 31–26. The Panthers’ first-round pick, which would come first overall after the team lost to the Cowboys 33-10, is also owned by Chicago.
