The Cincy game?
2 wins against DEN and IND outscoring them 85-41?
5-1 against that 6 game gauntlet in the schedule, outscoring opponents 214-113?
The two 14 point comebacks against the Ravens in the AFC Divisional playoff game, a team that the Pats struggled against in the postseason in recent years?
First day of camp?
If you believe BB....he knew it at halftime in the Chiefs game, because the "effort was still there".
The Cincy game made a statement for sure...would have been too easy for the Pats to roll over and believe the hype that they "were a weak team, lets face it, they're not that good anymore!". Definitively though... I think for me it was the GB game even though it was a loss. Would have been too easy to write that off as a very good non conference opponent in a place that is very difficult for a road team to win... but they were definitely there and that told me the league was put on notice that this team was not a bunch of quitters and not rolling over for anyone for any reason. That told me this team was not the "same old Pats" of recent years who would have been one and done fodder for the Ravens in their first game.
