The New England Patriots defeated the Arizona Cardinals by a 27-13 margin on Monday night. The win put the Patriots back in the playoff hunt and gave the team hope, following strong performances on both sides of the football.
Quarterback Mac Jones played decently, while rookies Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris stepped up at the banged-up running back position. The team entered the game without Damien Harris, and Rhamondre Stevenson exited in the first half with an ankle injury.
Defensively, the Patriots provided a formidable pass-rushing attack and racked up six sacks, including three from Josh Uche.
It was a solid all-around effort for New England that improved their record to 7-6 and breathed new life into their season. Let’s take a look at the best Twitter reactions to the game.

The 2022 Cardinals are the exact type of team that would get blown out by the 2022 Patriots at home.

Regardless of who was at QB tonight. The game plan for the Cardinals looks vanilla, and the Patriots are exposing it.

Seriously? Arizona is one of the worst coached teams I've seen this year. Embarrassing
"Patriots at Cardinals" https://t.co/qFi3Vu7zwR— Todd Wilson (@twilson1970) December 13, 2022
The Patriots are 7-6. Their resume is horrific. The Pats are 2-4 against teams with winning records, with the only 2 wins being ugly victories against the Jets, a franchise the Patriots have dominated. The Pats are feasting on the NFL’s garbage.
But keep believing this is 2001.

Patriots still have major issues. This is a banged up and horrible cardinal team.
