Fort Worth gets the late window tonight, and this one feels bigger than the listing.

Monday night in Foxborough gives us a contender on a five-game heater and a Giants team just trying to survive. New England’s offense keeps leaning deeper into TreVeyon Henderson, who turned two early starts into 244 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns, then handled 21 touches on about two-thirds of snaps in Cincinnati.

Gillette gets two different kinds of urgency under the lights. New England is chasing seeding and legacy, trying to stack wins into a No. 1 seed case.
