Meyers’ knack for finding an open spot and making smart plays is something that’s often overlooked but it played a part in Zappe finishing with an 81% completion rate (he completed 17-of-21 on the afternoon) along with nearly 200-yards passing.<\/p>\n
The veteran receiver said after the game that he was just glad to be back on the field after being sidelined the last two weeks.<\/p>\n
“It felt great, just being out there,” said Meyers. “I felt like I was smiling the whole game and really just enjoying the game. I felt like a kid again being out there. That was a special feeling. We got the win, which is most important, so going to go celebrate with the guys.”<\/p>\n
Just to put it in perspective how valuable he’s been to the offense, even despite missing two weeks heading into Sunday, Meyers was still second on the team in receptions with 13 and he was third on the club in receiving yards with 150.<\/p>\n
Following Sunday’s performance, Meyers is back on top of the team lead in both categories with 20 receptions for 261-yards.<\/p>\n
During his press conference, the veteran wideout credited Zappe and the coaching staff for what he believes was just an overall solid group effort.<\/p>\n
“I feel like he did a great job, honestly,” Meyers said of Zappe. “That’s just not a testament to him, that’s a testament to the coaches and the team. That’s a group effort, you know. He went out there and did the best that he could. We just had to make sure we protected him, ran the ball well and caught the ball.”<\/p>\n
“Like I said, shout-out to the coaches for just having a good game plan, calling the right plays and for him to go out there and execute it for us.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
It had obviously been a while since we had seen Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers on the field and his presence definitely made an impact Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":43243,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23151,10,23152],"tags":[22815,22991,2019,44],"class_list":["post-43290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2022-patriots-season","category-patriots-news","category-pf","tag-2022-patriots-season","tag-bailey-zappe","tag-jakobi-meyers","tag-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"\n
