After being on the road for the past two weeks, the Patriots are back home for the final two weeks of the 2024 season.

The Patriots host the Chargers for a rare Saturday game, with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. With the Chargers sitting in a playoff spot, Saturday marks the first of two games in the final two weeks in which the Patriots will host two teams likely destined for the playoffs. The Bills will travel to Foxborough next week for the regular season finale.

Despite not playing for a playoff spot, New England has made it clear that it wants to finish the 2024 season on a high note. Jerod Mayo’s job as head coach is reportedly secure, but the team wants to see if they have the right talent around Drake Maye.
