Denver Broncos (2-3) at Los Angeles Chargers (3-2): Go Broncos! New England will not be directly impacted by the result of this game, but the thought process behind going with Denver is a simple one: both teams being 3-3, just like the Patriots, is preferable to L.A. improving to 4-2 and thus having an advantage in the eventual race for a playoff spot. | ESPN, ABC, ESPN+, fuboTV
