Pats hope Zappe + Pat the Patriot makes for winning formula

For the second-straight year, the New England Patriots are staring down the barrel of a 1-3 start to the season. Last year, the Pats responded by winning 7-straight games to ascend to the top of the AFC. This year, our hope is in Bailey Zappe and Pat the Patriot.

While the Pats take a page out of Mother Nature's playbook this weekend and go the way of trees throughout New England as they transition to the classic reds, the season is at a crossroads.

Friday on The Drive, Chris Price of the Boston Globe joined the show to discuss the path ahead for the Pats and the other pillars of fall in New England.
