The New England Patriots have some competition at the top of the AFC after the Denver Broncos won their Sunday Night Football game against the Washington Commanders. Facing the New York Giants in a Monday Night Football clash, the surprisingly excellent team will try to keep its stranglehold at the top.
However, neither team is fully healthy going into the game. Who will be on the injury report and who will be starting as the Giants and the Patriots collide in Week 13?

After back-to-back losses for the Indianapolis Colts, the MVP race seemed to be a two-way battle between Matthew Safford and Drake Maye. But a brutal loss to the Carolina Panthers, where he had three turnovers, including a game-ending strip sack, has severely hurt Stafford’s chances.
