What I do know is the Patriots need to play this game and season out. No, I’m not changing my stance from last week, when I said New England needed to prioritize health over the top seed. The No. 1 seed is likely gone, with the beat-up Chargers making the wise decision to rest Justin Herbert and other key starters. This is about the No. 2 seed, where the Jaguars are breathing down the Patriots’ necks.
