The ironic part at this point is that the Patriots could probably use some sleep after 13 straight weeks of football.
They will finally get a much-needed bye week after Monday's primetime game against the New York Giants. The team has been bitten by the injury bug late in the season with injuries to Will Campbell, Milton Williams, Brenden Schooler and Jared Wilson.
