Hello, Rex Burkhead. Catch a touchdown, block a punt. Have yourself a night

IN THE FACE.

Patriots call timeout. They might want to take a longer look at this replay. Gronk might have caught it

Patriots come up just short, opt for the short FG instead of going for it on 4th and a foot.

How did Butler whiff on that? He was right there to make the breakup

Hello, old friend AJ Derby!

Special teams captain Matthew Slater has a hamstring injury and is doubtful to return per #Patriots . Big hit to a unit that has dominated.
