Julian Edelman knows a thing or two about short-term focus. He was one of the focal points of Patriots' teams that would shift their focus to their next opponent hours after a big win.
It would've been easy for the Patriots to fall into a trap game against an inferior opponent after a big Week 5 victory over the Buffalo Bills, but Mike Vrabel didn't let it happen. New England took care of the New Orleans Saints, and although it was ugly at times, the 25-19 victory represented that the Patriots' mental toughness is getting stronger.
Even though the Patriots' running game was a problem - again - Drake Maye was outstanding in throwing three touchdown passes and not turning the ball over.
