FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- After filling in as an emergency starter in Sunday’s 24-17 win over the Jets, cornerback Johnson Bademosi's value to the New England Patriots is on the rise.
“[He] did a great job for us, played 72 plays on defense, 14 in the kicking game and really didn’t know that he was going to play until Saturday, defensively, to have a big role like that,” coach Bill Belichick said during his weekly appearance on sports radio WEEI. “It says a lot for his preparation. He came through for us. I thought he played well, tackled well, stepped in and did a great job.
