On Thursday morning, a New England winter blizzard did‘t stop the Patriots from practicing at Gillette Stadium one final time before they are given a few days off for their playoff bye week.
Although head coach Bill Belichick ultimately decided to hold practice indoors in their bubble, the players walk from their cars to the facilities provided some interesting sights and sounds that the media captured.
