At running back, the Patriots are trying to do whatever they can to make up for losing Dion Lewis and LeGarrette Blount. Martin was New England’s leading receiver last week, making seven catches on 11 targets for 68 yards.

Since a postseason berth is in hand, the topic of Seahawks seeding and possible wild-card round opponents has heated up as they head into the final week of the regular season at Arizona on Sunday. But the top seed is still at stake. If they lose and the Seahawks (9-6) beat Arizona at home, they would be the No. 6 seed and return to Green Bay for a playoff game. Now the Cardinals want to play hard to the finish.

There is virtually no relevant precedent for the Redskins playing against any of these teams, however, as Kirk Cousins is in his first year as a starter.

“We played the worst we can possibly play, and we’re on to Minnesota, ” receiver James Jones said. “So we expect to show up and play and pick up where we left off the last time we were in Seattle (a 39-32 victory) against the same group, and want to keep that momentum going the next month-and-a-half”. “And it’s a division game”.

Arizona leads the National Football League in total offense and is fifth in total defense. But he has often said that he doesn’t consider his rookie players as rookies once they are on the team and have gone through the rigors of training camp and preseason like the rest of the players. I told Norv (Turner), I said, ‘Can we break one of these in here?’ And then Adrian about that same time broke it and so it was good. That short week meant that they weren’t going to be able to get back multiple injured players on time, including three of their best defenders in Harrison Smith, Linval Joseph and Anthony Barr. Or would you rather have the luxury of avoiding either the Panthers or Seahawks?

“We should be getting some of these guys back as the week progresses”, Arians said. “We’re going into Green Bay, and they’re going to give us what they’ve got”. “Whenever we stay at the hotel, we just talk all night: ‘Man, hopefully you can get in the end zone”. For the sake of simplicity, let’s assume the Panthers beat the Bucs, so the Cardinals will be the 2 seed in the NFC regardless of the outcome of the game.
