New England Patriots
The Patriots are looking to move on from a five-turnover game against the Steelers in Week 3.
Fresh off a frustrating home loss to the Steelers last week, the Patriots will look to get back to .500 on Sunday afternoon in Foxborough.
For Week 4, the Patriots will host the Panthers at Gillette Stadium — with kick-off set for 1 p.m.
You can watch the game on FOX, as well as listen on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
New England is looking to put a brutal Week 3 loss in the rearview mirror, as the Patriots coughed up five turnovers en route to a 21-14 loss.
There will be plenty of eyes on Rhamondre Stevenson, who was knocked for two fumbles — while Drake Maye will need to cut down on his turnovers after giving up an interception and fumble against Pittsburgh.
Even with Carolina’s own flaws, especially on offense, the Panthers have limited several teams’ aerial attacks so far this season.
The Panthers have only allowed 196.7 passing yards per game, with its opponents’ quarterback rating ranking as the second-best mark in the league (66.7).
New England will get some critical reinforcements back, as Christian Gonzalez is active and expected to play after missing the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury.
