The New England Patriots did what they seem to do every week — at least during their six-game win streak. The Patriots ground away at the Tennessee Titans with a dogged commitment to running the ball and endless trust in the defense to make big plays. New England won, 36-13.
There were flashes of big plays from quarterback Mac Jones and receivers Kendrick Bourne and Jakobi Meyers — a refreshing twist for New England. But the defense was outstanding, as usual, with two takeaways and two turnovers on downs. The rushing attack struggled at the start, but ended up finding its stride in the fourth quarter when it helped chew the clock and build a massive lead.
It felt close at first. And then it turned into an absolute route. That’s how the Patriots roll teams, with a mind-numbingly efficient approach, forcing mistakes and making none. Here are our takeaways from the game.
