SECOND QUARTER
At the start of the second quarter, Justin Herbert gave the Chargers back the lead after finding Keenan Allen, but once again the Patriots offense struck back with two Nick Folk field goals just before halftime to bring the game within one.

Former Chargers safety Adrian Phillips had some fun at his old team’s expense to help his offense with an extra scoring chance.
He wanted to play a game 🤡@Phillips_17 INT

During the third quarter, both defenses tightened up as both teams could only trade field goals, but by the time the fourth quarter rolled around, the Patriots again found themselves right in the game but needing some sort of spark to get points on the board.
Enter Adrian Phillips, who recorded his second interception of the game, but this time took it to the house for a Patriots 24-17 lead.
GO ADRIAN!!@Phillips_17 pick-six for the lead!

A Nick Folk 30 Yd Field Goal, his fourth of the game sealed the Patriots victory at the conclusion of a lengthy, seven-minute drive and a ten-point lead.

Although Justin Herbert added a garbage-time touchdown the Patriots would go on to complete their most impressive win of the season and move to .500 at 4-4 on the year.
The Patriots will travel to Charlotte to take on the Panthers next Sunday with a chance to get above. 500 for the first time.
That’s the kind of win I wanted to see #Patriots

Matt Judon is already looking ahead to next week's matchup with the Panthers after the @Patriots win today.

Justin Herbert has now faced the Patriots twice. In those games, he's posted the worst and second-worst passer rating of his career and the worst and second-worst completion percentage of his career.
Two of his four career multi-INT games have come vs. New England.
