The Patriots offense had to rely on their running backs as their wide receivers were MIA in Miami all game long and were a complete non-factor.
In his postgame press conference, the first question posed to Bill Belichick was whether he thought his players were looking ahead to Pittsburgh.
With the Patriots preparing for another key division game tonight against the Dolphins, here are some final thoughts before New England attempts to get their 11th win of the season.
Tom Brady began his presser with an apology…“I’ve been feeling bad all week and haven’t had a chance to say it. He knows how much I love him.” Brady said
The NFL has upheld the suspension of Rob Gronkowski and he will not be available for the Patriots on Monday Night Football in Miami.
Overall the Patriots secondary was outstanding. Buffalo had just 115 yards passing with a net of 85 and 3.4 yard per pass average.
The NFL wasted little time in handing out their punishment for Rob Gronkowski’s hit on Tre’Davious White during yesterday’s win over the Bills, announcing a one game suspension for the veteran tight end on Monday afternoon.
The Patriots got their 10th win of the season after gutting out a tough one in Buffalo, beating the Bills 23-3 in a game that didn’t exactly go as easily as the final score might reflect.
Rob Gronkwoski’s actions on Sunday were certainly out of character, but it’s looking more and more like the Patriots may be without his services when New England plays next Monday night down in Miami.
Rob Gronkowski’s fourth-quarter hit on Tre’Davious White may have put himself in harms way with the NFL in terms of a suspension, but that may not be the only thing Gronkowski has to worry about before this season is over.
In the last six games, the Patriots pass defense is allowing 195.1 yards per game. Let that one roll around for a minute.
The Patriots conclude their two games in three weeks stint with Miami, visiting south Florida next Monday night. With Pittsburgh looming on the horizon, this will be more of a trap game than today was.
The Patriots clearly came into Sunday’s game against the Bills believing they’d have success on the ground, but it’s doubtful they had any idea they’d have two players who would nearly pass the century mark.
Rob Gronkowski isn’t known as a player who loses his cool, and after Sunday’s game he wasn’t pleased with himself for letting his emotions get the better of him.
Rob Gronkowski isn’t normally one to let his temper get the best of him, but unfortunately he lost his cool on Sunday out in Buffalo and it may end up costing him.
