More slow nfl
Winner: Marcus Jones, Patriots
The Vanitas set the tone when Terell Jences opened the game and brought the quarterback back into midfield.At 5:28 of the first quarter, it was Marcus Jones' turn to attack New York.And that's exactly what he did.
Jones took the punt 94 yards to the house to increase England's new lead to 10-0.
It was Jones' third career punt return performance.His punt return average was 13.6, which was already the highest average in NFL history.He averaged 41.3 in this game to improve on that stat.The Patriots are definitely optimizing their 2022 third-round pick.
Loser: Giants special teams
Speaking of special teams, it was a nightmare for New York.In addition to the punt return, kicker Younghoe Koo had a terrible field goal attempt in the second quarter down 17-7.
Appearing to float before Coo threw 47 yards out, leading rusher Jamie Gillan lost 13 yards and three points to make it a one-possession game.
Gunner Olszewski Later rolled from behind in the second time, which Elijah thought to recover.The Patriots just wanted the field to make it 27-7, but it was just another mistake for a team that has no chance if they hope to be upset.
I-Wenner: Draoke Mae, Patriots
The second year in the world motivated him to perform well against the opposing team.Entering the game with the best completion percentage in the league, Maye completed 24 of 31 passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns and no catches.
That included a 33-yard dime to Kyle Williams in the first half, the game's first and only free throw.
Maye's experiments will be bigger in the future, but the smaller ones will always be more trouble-free.
Loser: Jackson Dart, Giants
On the other hand, rookie Dart failed to provide a high-quality threat from the New England defence.
He ran for 20 yards on 10 attempts and was 17 24 for 179 yards.His car is the best sign for the game, but the giants need more than he takes the next step.
The absence of Malik Nabers hurts, but New York will need to provide much better darting weapons next season and beyond.
Winner: Goodbye
The Patriots have an 11-2 record and are now heading into their Week 14 bye week.They'll be one of four teams to wait that long, along with the Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers.
New England will return from the bye and finish the season with Buffalo (H), Baltimore (A), New York Jets (A), and Miami (H), in that order.
Buffalo and Baltimore will test New England's 10-game winning streak, but having a week off before the postseason could be essential for health reasons.Mike Vrabel will have to make sure his team doesn't get rusty and lose momentum, however.
