Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots got a chance to imitate Navy’s offense during their win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 13.
Belichick grew up around Navy football, famous for using a running-focused triple-option offense. And though the Patriots didn’t have the quarterback – a slow-of-foot Mac Jones – to run a triple option, New England could line up to run the football — again and again and again — against the Bills in Buffalo, with winds blowing up to 70 miles per hour and snow swirling around the stadium. In fact, the Patriots didn’t have much of a choice. They had to run the football. That’s how they won, 14-10.
Here are the stars, studs and duds from this week’s game.
