New England Patriots face a defensive setback as Milton Williams is sidelined for multiple weeks with a high ankle sprain. Can the Patriots’ defense survive without its most dominant playmaker? Nick Cattles breaks down why Williams’ absence shifts massive pressure onto Christian Barmore, Harold Landry, and K’Lavon Chaisson, and explores how Mike Vrabel’s coaching prowess could be the key to keeping the Patriots’ playoff hopes alive.

Key storylines include the sudden need for defensive line depth, critical roles for Khyiris Tonga and Corey Durden, and strategic adjustments ahead of challenging matchups against the Bengals and Giants. Plus, Nick Cattles spotlights Vrabel’s history of getting more out of his roster during adversity and why the timing of Williams’ injury may offer an unexpected silver lining. Will New England’s defense step up and deliver, or is a rough stretch ahead?
