We’re going to focus just on the Patriots offense this week. The second half defense issues we’ll cover when we do our Houston breakdown of key matchups

An even bigger factor of having Edelman back is teams can’t overload on covering Rob Gronkowski and he was extremely effective on Saturday with seven catches for 83 yards and two big touchdowns
