What a trip to the Windy City it was for the Patriots.
Following a heartbreaking Week 9 road loss to the Tennessee Titans, New England bounced back with an impressive victory in Chicago. Jerod Mayo’s side performed pretty well on offense and special teams, but a lights-out defensive effort made the biggest difference in a 19-3 win over the Bears.
As one could imagine, positive vibes were aplenty in the Patriots locker room after they improved to 3-7. Team owner Robert Kraft made his way down to celebrate with the players and coaches while rookie quarterback Drake Maye made the rounds to hype up many teammates.

The Patriots now have an opportunity to do something the franchise hasn’t done in two years: win back-to-back games. Standing in the way of that feat for New England will be the Los Angeles Rams, who are coming off a troubling “Monday Night Football” loss to the Miami Dolphins at SoFi Stadium.
