Quarterback Caleb Williams presents a unique challenge for the Patriots' man-coverage defense, as he has completed 72.7 percent of his passes against such coverage, achieving a passer rating of 123.3. Historically, the New England Patriots, under coach Mike Vrabel, have a strong record as road underdogs, going 5-1-1 against the spread in such situations.
