Patriots Officially 15-0, One Away From Record
I don’t think that this game was ever in question, but the Patriots need to regroup from the 2nd half drama that occurred today. Everything was going fine for NE in the first half in which they lead 28-0. However, after Brady threw 2 interceptions and lost a fumble, the Patriots gave up the shutout by letting them score in the third quarter. Not that beating someone 28-7 is a bad thing, but the game should have been more lopsided than it was.
