Elliott was targeted eight times and made 7 catches for 72 yards and a touchdown. He saved the game with a tackle on the Zappe pick.
Other than Mac Jones kneel-downs, the OL opened up holes for the running backs to rush for 133 yards on 28 carries, a 4.75-yard average.
The Patriots got the ball on their own 30-yard line with 6:33 left, went on a 13-play, 71-yard drive that killed the entire clock.
Bourne and Agholor are the YAC guys. They have to get more creative (there’s that word again) Play-action, motion, and trickery if need be.
Already missing Gronkowski this week, the team lost Michel on the 1st play of the 2nd quarter. White picked up the slack and was his normal productive self
But regardless of whether Mack plays or not, LaAdrian Waddle will have a very important role in the Patriots game plan this week.
It is the interior guys like Hicks that disrupt things. If Brady can’t step up or slide in the pocket, then edge guys like Mack can be productive.
