Patriots Host Rams in Week 11 Clash

The New England Patriots (3-7) will host the Los Angeles Rams (4-5) this Sunday, with both teams seeking a critical win to boost their playoff aspirations. The Patriots' defense shone last week against the Bears, achieving nine sacks in a dominant 19-3 victory, while the Rams suffered a setback with a 23-15 loss to the Dolphins, snapping their three-game winning streak. New England's rookie quarterback Drake Maye is under scrutiny as he attempts to improve on a season where the team has struggled offensively, scoring under 20 points in several games. Conversely, the Rams' defense has shown promise, particularly in recent outings, but must deliver against a Patriots offensive line that has allowed the fourth-most sacks in the league. With the Rams needing a win to stay competitive in the NFC West, the match is expected to be a pivotal moment for both franchises. Coach Jerod Mayo emphasizes the importance of his team's offensive line rising to the challenge against the Rams' aggressive defensive front.
