One big storyline from Sunday’s blowout win by the New England Patriots over the Detroit Lions was the fact the Lions went for it on every single 4th down attempt while becoming the first team in NFL history to go 0-for-6 on 4th down.

I expected a big win by the Patriots and that was exactly what they went out and did. 

Sunday was another solid performance for New England Patriots’ quarterback Bailey Zappe, with the rookie seeing the coaching staff loosen the reigns a bit as Zappe was given more opportunities to throw the football and the results certainly saw the rookie have some success.

“He does a great job with the ball in his hands. He is a strong runner, but he can make people miss… Love him,” Belichick on Stevenson

The Patriot defense took advantage of a flustered Detroit offense and played the bend-but-don’t-break defense to perfection.

Goff has been lighting it up this year (11TDs, 3 INTs) and has plenty of options to pick from, even being short-handed.

Coach Dan Campbell has the Detroit Lions working hard and together as a team despite a rash of injuries.  Don’t dismiss their 1-3 record. 

The New England Patriots are continuing to get ready for the Detroit Lions this weekend, with Bill Belichick’s team trying to avoid their third straight loss after dropping two straight against Baltimore and Green Bay these last two weeks.

Today’s Patriots news and NFL notes for Friday April 23rd, 2021.

In this morning’s Patriots news, we look at the fact the Bears seem to be yet another team who could make life difficult heading into the draft.

For any Patriots fans who were hoping Matt Stafford would have landed in New England, it appears that even despite being traded to Los Angeles the possibility was never there anyway.

For any fans hoping to see Matt Stafford start for the Patriots in 2021, it appears you can cross that off your list.

As the Patriots continue preparing for what should be an interesting offseason, one glaring issue remains. They still need a quarterback.

One of the best parts heading into this year is the fact we really don’t know what to expect, which is what will make every game so interesting to watch.  But whether or not that means a changing of the guard is coming remains to be seen.
