Nfl Commentary:

The Patriots have to attack north-south and as soon a catch is made, the receivers have to turn up the field and take what is there.

The Patriots took their opening possession down the field for a TD.  McDaniels job of scripting the first 15 or so plays has been outstanding

but they got Larry a bucket, surrounded him with some guys and he took care of his business, right there on the sideline.

With the defense gassed, the Patriots had a 4th and 3 at their own 46-Instead of going for the win, they opted for “Marty-ball” and punted

“He has a big future…, he was my pick. He fits the Patriots mold and leadership qualities that some quarterbacks don’t have.”

The last time the teams met, the Patriots varied up their looks and did a good job on Elliot and Pollard, they’ll need an even bigger effort

Jones had his first signature, come-from-behind win and in doing so, he led the Patriots to scoring drives on their final four possessions.

Judon leads the Patriots in sacks with 4.5 and QB hits with 8. He’s been the Patriots’ most impactful player on defense…by far.

At one point, Jones completed 19 passes in a row. He was in command of the offense and looks like a player with more experience than 4 games.

“I love Tom Brady. I always have,” Fears said. “I am very honored to have been a part of the team with him. I think he’s the greatest, but right now that S.O.B. is the enemy.

“I think to have the greatest coach of all time, Bill Belichick, call you and tell you he wants you to be a part of something special, that was enough,” Agholor said

Jones’ best throw of the day was the over-the-shoulder toss to Jakobi Meyers down the left sideline. It was a beauty.

“First of all, I don’t really know or care anything about social media. I don’t even know what’s out there , so that’s irrelevant to me”
