The injuries, especially on offense appear to be catching up to them….
MICHAEL REAVES / GETTY IMAGES FOXBOROUGH- It is no secret that the Patriots will have their hands full on Sunday when they take on the San Francisco 49ers.

The Patriots visit the Jets tonight and there several key match-ups to keep an eye on. Here are five match ups that we are watching. Caedan Wallace vs. Will McDonald: Wallace makes his first career start and it is at left tackle. Wallace will compete but I also expect him to need some help in certain situations.
