“Patriots claim big win after Mac Jones loses battle between cellar dwellers”

The Patriots were both winners and losers in Week 16.

Sure, New England turned the ball over three times, allowing the Buffalo Bills to score 24 unanswered points and earn a 24-21 victory at Highmark Stadium on Sunday. But it wasn’t all bad news for the Patriots, who also saw a jump in their 2025 NFL Draft pick.

The Raiders earned their third win of the season when they defeated Mac Jones and the Jaguars on Sunday. Las Vegas, ranked No. 1 at the start of Week 16, fell from the top spot after a 19-14 win at Allegiant Stadium.

It helped both the New York Giants and the Patriots, who were previously sitting behind the Raiders.

Here’s a look at the current top 10 per tankathon:
