Prior to the game, there were reports from the NFL’s Ian Rapoport that WR Josh Gordon was late for the team walk-thru and would be punished by sitting out several series, possibly even the first quarter. However, once the game started, the Patriots got the ball first and Gordon was on the field.

Gordon was asked after the game about this, he hesitated for a second and then said, “That’s going to be a question you’re going to have to ask Coach about,” Gordon said. “In relation to the game, I was available, so that’s a plus.” Bill Belichick, in typical curt fashion, said only “You’d have to talk to whoever wrote that,” he said. “I have no idea.”

Which leads back to Rapoport, who is always very accurate with his reporting and not prone to sensationalism. Was this just a case where he got his information really wrong? Or was this a case of the Patriots using an Agent provocateur in trying to ferret out where the leaks are coming from at One Patriots Place? This will be interesting in how it plays out.
