NFL 2017: 5 Teams on upset alert in Week 10
By Dan Parzych
2. New England Patriots
Believe it or not, the defense of the New England Patriots has figured out a way to turn things around following a disastrous start by allowing 17 points or less in each of their last four games. When considering the defense seemed like it was going to hold the Patriots back from having the chance to repeat as Super Bowl champions, this team is back to being one of the top contenders in the AFC once again.

With that being said, it will be interesting to see how New England performs against the Denver Broncos in Week 10 after taking numerous factors into consideration. From Tom Brady’s history of struggling at times on the road when facing the Broncos to Vance Joseph’s team anxious to put an end to their four-game losing streak, the Patriots better be careful.
Just like Brady, Von Miller has established a reputation over the years for being one of the most competitive players in the league who hates to lose, and will be applying plenty of pressure on the future Hall of Fame quarterback. Plus, there’s always the concern of teams being rusty following a bye week, which will be interesting to see how New England handles on Sunday.
