Patriots - Lions, Five Keys to Watch For in tonight's game
By: Steve Balestrieri
With the focus on many in New England on the unwelcome and untimely arrival of Irene, the New England Patriots are in Michigan to play their third pre-season game against the Detroit Lions. This is an important one as this is as close as a ‘dress rehearsal’ as most teams get in their preparation for Opening Day. Of course in regards to dress rehearsals I like to go by Willie Nelson’s motto that we used to use in the US Army Special Forces; “There are no dress rehearsals, we are professionals and this is the big time.”
While Bill Belichick is a more Bon Jovi man than Willie, I think this will fit his description as well. But a couple of questions remain about tonight’s game and these are 5 Keys to Watch For in Tonight’s Game...
