Between parking, beer, and single game tickets to the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, how expensive is it really to support our football team?
Is the team living up to, exceeding or failing to reach your expectations over the first half? Plus, what grades would you hand out to the offensive and defensive units?
Matt Judon had three of the Patriots' nine sacks, Mac Jones had a touchdown pass, and Nick Folk added four field goals to help New England beat the Indianapolis Colts 26-3.
Frankly, I think the closest thing Brady, Belichick & Co. ever had to a rival during all those years wasn't a team, but instead one guy. And no, I'm not talking about the blowhard coach in New York.
Bill Belichick passed George Halas for second place on the NFL's career victories list and the last-place New England Patriots continued their mastery of the surprising New York Jets by beating them for the 13th straight time, 22-17
Mac Jones started but quickly gave way to Bailey Zappe who led New England to 2 touchdown drives. But Zappe faltered in the second half, and the Bears scored 23 straight points on their way to a 33-14 win.
Rookie backup Bailey Zappe threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns in his third NFL game, Bill Belichick tied George Halas for second on the all-time list with his 324th victory, and the New England Patriots buried the Cleveland Browns 38-15 on Sunday.
