Three Notes Scribbled In The Margins
Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed his first eight passes, hitting seven different receivers, one or two of whom you may have even heard of before. He went just 3 of 13 after that, and finished the day with 93 passing yards Jonnu Smith had three catches on four targets for 49 yards against his former team, and also gained 9 yards on a jet sweep on the Patriots first possession. His 58 total yards is the most hes had in a game as a Patriot, eclipsing his total in Week 7 against the Jets by a yard Titans kicker Randy Bullock ricocheted two missed kicks off the right upright in the first quarter, an extra-point attempt and a 44-yard field goal bid in the second quarter. Kudos to CBS for having the goalposts miked up. Theres something oddly satisfying about hearing the BONGGGG of a football hitting the uprights.
Judon: Patriots Were ‘freakin’ Juiced Up’ After Comeback Win Vs Texans
1633900908
His two sacks helped snuff out a Texans drive deep into Patriots territory, forcing a field goal near the end of the first half. He also had a hit and a pressure on Davis Mills that helped force incompletions.
Kyle Van Noy had a stuff, as did Dont’a Hightower. Hightower also recorded a pressure on third down in the fourth quarter that helped lead to an incompletion. Ja’Whaun Bentley had a hit of his own on a delayed blitz that helped create an incompletion. Bentley also broke up a pass.
Chase Winovich earned a pressure early on. Good mix of pass-rush and run-stopping ability here, as the yards-per-carry number would indicate.

Patriots Report Card: Maligned Offensive Line Comes Through As Does Matt Judon
That wasnt the case this past week at Gillette Stadium.
The offensive line heard the criticism. The quarterback heard the criticism of the offensive line. David Andrews admitted Sunday it was deserved. Mac Jones sounded a little more irked by the fact there was buzz about the offensive lines play out there at all.
Bottom line: They heard it.
I think the offensive line did a great job and I think it all starts with them, Jones said. They were doubted all week and there was this and that, and all the noise around that, and they came out and they played really hard and they played together. I think I only got hit one time the whole game. So just shoutout to those guys and they are a big reason why happened.”

And after performing below their standard, Jones blockers had the tall task of going to work against the Texans without four starters.
Bill Belichick said after the game he couldnt remember a game from his entire coaching career when so many replacements up front were needed. Three practice-squad linemen were called up for the Houston game. One, James Ferentz, started.
They ended up being one of the top-performing position groups on the team. Jones was sacked just once and hit twice more. Rushers ran for over four yards per carry. And there wasnt a single drive-killing penalty called on the unit all game.
The Patriots Will Visit Their Old Star Cornerback Stephon Gilmore And The Carolina Panthers In A Week 9 Battle Of 4
The Patriots come into Sundays game against the 4-4 Carolina Panthers with their best win of the season in tow after knocking off the Los Angeles Chargers last weekend.
Meanwhile, the Panthers finally managed to stop a four-game skid with a win over the Atlanta Falcons as they try to recover the form that saw them start 3-0.
On paper, New England has momentum on its side, has played more consistent football to start the season despite also being 4-4, and has fewer major health question marks to answer this week, with the Panthers unsure of whether star running back Christian McCaffrey or starting quarterback Sam Darnold will suit up on Sunday.
But the Patriots would be unwise to overlook their mercurial NFC South opponent and the talent they boast on both sides of the football, including one very notable player who said hell be bringing some extra motivation to the table to beat the team he was on just a few weeks ago.

Three Players Who Were Worth Watching
J.C. Jackson: The fourth-year cornerback already is one of the most accomplished ballhawks in Patriots lore. He picked off his seventh pass of the season and fifth of this six-game winning streak by catching a Devin McCourty deflection of a Ryan Tannehill pass on fourth and goal from the New England 2-yard-line in the fourth quarter, with the Patriots up, 26-13. Jackson is now tied for ninth in Patriots history with 24 interceptions, catching up to Nick Buoniconti and Ronnie Lippett. Buoniconti collected his 24 picks in 91 games. Lippett did it in 122. Jackson played his 57th game as a Patriot Sunday. But his biggest defensive play Sunday one of the bigger Patriots defensive plays of the season did not result in an interception, but a fumble. With a little over 10 minutes to play in the third quarter and the Patriots holding a 19-13 lead, Titans running back DOnta Foreman broke loose into the secondary, picking up 31 yards, with the possibility of more until Jackson arrived on the scene and punched the ball loose. Jalen Mills pounced on the fumble and recovered at the Patriots 37-yard line, and what looked like a Titans opportunity to take the lead instead became another crucial turnover forced by one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL.
The Patriots’ Offensive Coordinator Said The Goal
Though the Patriots emerged with a 27-24 victory on Sunday, one aspect of the game stuck in Josh McDanielss mind.
New England went 1 for 6 on passes thrown inside the six-yard line even though the Chargers have struggled to stop the run so far in the 2021 season.
A specific play-call on fourth and goal at the one-yard line in the second quarter left McDaniels with particular regret. Mac Joness attempted fade pass to Jakobi Meyers fell incomplete, resulting in a turnover on downs.
Here’s a look at that Patriots’ fourth-down attempt: a fade route from Mac Jones to Jakobi Meyers. Incomplete. Turnover on downs.
Henry McKenna
I look back on that sequence, and its probably one of the ones that I wish I could do differently,McDaniels told Patriots reporters on Tuesday.
If it works out on third-and-goal, McDaniels continued, and you end up with the play-pass and it works, its great, and everybody thinks it was a great call.
Reflecting on a successful rushing touchdown from Damien Harris earlier in the game from one-yard line, McDaniels reasoned that he was concerned about the teams ability to replicate it.
“That’s one I wish I could do differently, not a good sequence for me” Josh McDaniels on the two pass calls from the one yard line vs the Chargers

Grievance Of The Game
Any time your kicker is converting five field goals, as Nick Folk did , that means you probably have a kicker who can be relied upon. It also means youre relying on him too much. The Patriots went just 1 for 3 in the red zone in the first half and 2 for 5 overall, and against better/healthier teams, theyre going to need to stop leaving points on the field. The biggest missed opportunity came when Jones overthrew a wide-open, touchdown-bound Hunter Henry near the 10-minute mark in the second quarter. The Patriots had to settle for a field goal and a 10-6 lead.
