Have the Pats ever faced Cousins before?
The game dion Lewis did his knee and I think Edelman broke his foot in 2015 against the redskins

Pats open up favorites by a TD (-7)
It reminded me of throwing to Moss vs Revis for WHY???? in 2009.
Yes, in 2015. The game where we lost Dion Lewis for the season.Have the Pats ever faced Cousins before?
Interesting that the best 3rd down defenses are all AFC teams except MIN & CHI.
Thanks. Yes, I think we forgot how good the 2015 team was. Injuries killed that team and even with that, came a hair away from another SB.
Obviously we need better playcalling than 2 straight fade routes to Gronk against the jets best player.
but this game will need to be won by our D limiting the Vikes to under 24ppg, IMO.
Comments:
a.) QB's the Pats D have faced all season: Watson (coming off an ACL and not 100%), Bortles (threw 4 TD's), Stafford (played OK), Osweiller, Luck (coming off a shoulder injury with a weak OL...at the time), Mahomes (won by 3), Trubisky ( in year 2), Anderson (A QB starting after 2 weeks of being with the team), Rodgers (on a gimpy leg), Mariota, and McNown (39 year old back up). Of the above QB's...I'd rank Cousins about #5 behind Mahomes, Luck, Rodgers, and Watson.
b.) The Vikes WR duo is downright dangerous with Thielen/Diggs...but don't sleep on Treadwell who can make plays here and there...Rudolph as well. I think this will be the best collection of pass catchers since the K.C. game (with Hill, Kelce, and Watkins).
c.) Lativus Murray is a solid if not spectacular RB type... Dalvin Cook is the game breaker type. Cook has been getting more and more reps in recent weeks. I think we see a healthy dose of Cook this week.
d.) The Vikes D is solid....but there aren't really any good defenses anymore in the NFL these days given all the rules favoring offenses. We can do some damage, but this game will need to be won by our D limiting the Vikes to under 24ppg, IMO.
