New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals

☀️: The Good

First team to 10 wins in the league.

The Pats moved the ball down the field well.

It is hard for a defensive player to be known as a playmaker but that is exactly what Marcus Jones is. A huge pick six from him helped win the game.

⛈️: The Bad

We almost gave this game away. We were so much better but let the Bengals hang around.

Injuries, injuries, injuries. Not having Milton Williams hurt. Then Khyiris Tonga left the game with an injury, further hurting us up the middle of our D line. Offensively, LT Will Campbell and LG Jared Wilson left the game. We cannot afford to have them miss significant time.

Our red zone execution was horrible. We had 8 plays in the red zone on one drive and could not score. Then we preceded to get the ball inside the five again and settled for a field goal. We need to execute better.

Maye had some really bad throws today including his first career pick six.

The Pats gave up their first 100 yard rusher all year. And really could get no pressure on Joe Flacco.

☀️: The Good

TNF games later in the year are never pretty. Just get out of there with a win and that’s what the Pats did.

Henderson continued to ball out and it was great the see someone other than Maye carry the offense.

The offensive line played great too.

⛈️: The Bad

Had the Jets WRs made some catches they should have this would have been a different game. Overall, the Jets moved the ball on us surprisingly well. We only managed two sacks and one turnover against a pretty bad offense.

Milton Williams going down is awful for us. Hopefully, he and other injured Patriots use the mini bye the Pats now have to get healthy.
