Heading into Week 17, only one player in the Patriots locker room had played every offensive snap during this 2025 season.
On Sunday, that streak finally came to an end.
Center Garrett Bradbury had been out there for 969-of-969 snaps through 15 games ahead of Sunday’s contest, but with the offense up big against the Jets, Bradbury joined several other players on the sideline as he got to enjoy watching his team finish off a 42-10 victory at MetLife Stadium.
Stepping in for Bradbury was Brenden Jaimes, who played out the final 8 offensive snaps of the game, with Bradbury coming out after 58 of New England’s 66 plays on Sunday.
That now has Bradbury sitting with 1,027 snaps on the season, which still has him ahead of his peers heading into this final week.
Also seeing action with Jaimes on Sunday was Caedan Wallace and Thayer Munford, with Wallace stepping in at left guard as Ben Brown moved over to right guard for Mike Onwenu.
Munford allowed Morgan Moses to join Bradbury and Onwenu on the sideline as the veterans were able to enjoy watching the rest of the contest from the bench.
The group as a whole has done a good job as the team has battled through injuries. They lost Will Campbell to a knee injury during the Bengals game back in Week 12, while left guard Jared Wilson has also been dealing with injuries and sat out Sunday’s contest.
Vederian Lowe has been terrific in Campbell’s absence, while Brown has also played well, stepping in for Wilson. They’ve allowed Drake Maye and the offense to continue what’s certainly been a terrific year for that unit, with Sunday’s performance bumping the Patriots up to fifth in the NFL in scoring, as well as leading the league in first-half total points.
But give Bradbury a lot of credit. There were plenty of doubts about him to begin the season, but he’s been solid through 16 games and has been a big reason for New England’s success up front to this point.
