The New England Patriots earned win No. 10 on the year on Sunday afternoon, as they took down the Cincinnati Bengals 26-20. While that is impressive in its own right, linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson made sure to highlight another big accomplishment immediately after this game ended.
Chaisson has quickly become an important piece of the Pats’ defensive line, and while he wasn’t at his best in Week 12 (he only had one tackle and a costly penalty on fourth down), he’s going to play a big role in determining how far New England can go this year.
There’s been a lot to like from the Patriots’ ongoing nine-game win streak. One of the more overlooked aspects of their success, though, has been the team’s ability to win on the road. Chaisson made sure that wasn’t going to get swept under the rug after the clock hit zero, though.
“That’s 10 of them. Road warriors part six,” Chaisson said while walking off the field at Paycor Stadium.
With this win, New England’s record away from home moved to 6-0, and with the Seattle Seahawks losing to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11, it is now the only team to have won every one of its away games this season.
While some folks aren’t yet convinced that the Patriots’ recent run isn’t a fluke, their ability to win, no matter what circumstances they are facing, has proven that they mean business. The Pats will look to make it 10 straight wins in Week 13 when they take on the New York Giants on Monday Night Football.
