5 early surprises from the Patriots this season

The first two weeks of the Patriots’ season are in the books, and there have already been a number of surprises.

The Patriots pulled off their first win at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium since 2019 last week, and they did it without defensive coordinator Terrell Williams who took some time way from the team to deal with an “unforeseen” health issue.

Things began to look bleak in that game when Miami took a 27-23 lead on a 74-yard punt return for touchdown from Malik Washington with 7:18 remaining in the game. But, the Patriots had an immediate answer, scoring on a 90-yard kick return from Antonio Gibson on the very next play.
