Deltha O'Neil made 2 key plays to help seal this win - New England Patriots Forums

He didn't look very good on his punt returns, but he made two key plays in the fourth quarter to help seal this win. The first was running down the KC receiver on the long pass and the second was defending on the 4th down play. A good start for him.

Not to mention the kick return.

In all fairness... that last 4th down play was a rotten throw by Huard. Even if there was no defender, that ball wasn't catchable.

I didn't notice Wheatley on the field???

Couldn't agree more. O'Neal had nothing to do with that incompletion.

I agree, but he was aggressive and in position to make a play if that ball had been on target.

That word nothing is very powerful.

Deltha had a nice bump at the line, played him very physical and didnt' allow him to get position, forcing the QB to attempt to put it in the perfect position, resulting in a seemingly uncatchable throw.

Love the O'Neal pick up. Now we need to get Lynch back. He is certainly no slower than #36. Anybody want to talk about James Sanders? I know, "DW why do you pick on our Mr. Sanders?" I am sorry, he absolutely rots!

Yeah, James Sanders can rot. The only times I saw him all day was times he was sucking the meat missle.

Disagree. Did you even see that play? O'Neal played the bump perfectly on his man and had blanket coverage. The QB had nowhere to go with that throw and so made a bad pass trying to do too much.
