Ex-Patriots champ turned analyst sees something bigger brewing in Foxborough

The New England Patriots might be in the best position in all of football. Just a year ago, they had fired head coach Jerod Mayo after a 4-13 season. While Drake Maye and Christian Gonzalez looked to be building blocks, no one could have expected them to make such an incredible turnaround.

Mike Vrabel's squad got their first playoff win on Sunday after a 16-3 win over the Chargers. It was an incredibly gritty game, with a Hunter Henry touchdown the lone score for either team. Drake Maye had a pair of fumbles (one recovered) and an interception, while K'Lavon Chaisson stripped Justin Herbert and Christian Elliss recovered.
