Patriots Eliminated From NFL Playoffs After Week 14 Result
The path is dead for the New England Patriots.
The 3-10 Patriots were mathematically eliminated from the NFL playoffs after the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Indianapolis Colts. New England has four regular-season games remaining, including the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium in Week 15.
Despite the fact the Patriots earned a Week 14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on “Thursday Night Football,” New England maintains the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Arizona Cardinals are on their Week 14 bye, which means the Patriots will keep that draft slot after the conclusion of Week 14.
It marks the second straight season the Patriots won’t be playing in the postseason.
