## Resource

The Patriots stumbled to a 0-1 start, sitting third in the AFC East with analysts ranking them as low as 19th overall—but don’t count them out. While QB Drake Maye struggled with three interceptions and key injuries, the defense showed flashes, and the schedule ahead is manageable. The Jets, meanwhile, are flying high at 1-0. This week’s must-win showdown against the Steelers—also 1-0—isn’t just about pride; it’s about avoiding a deeper hole. With A.J. Brown sidelined and the pressure mounting, New England’s chance to turn things around begins now. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
