After coaching his team to a resounding 42-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel had an understated summary of how things played out.
“I mean if you take care of the ball and get some explosives in the return game, and get some stops defensively, I think that’s what we’re capable of doing,” Vrabel said of the performance during his Monday morning WEEI interview on “The Greg Hill Show.”
New England fell behind after Carolina marched 76 yards on its opening drive for a touchdown. But after the Patriots defense was able to get a stop the second time around, Marcus Jones took the ensuing punt return back 87 yards for a touchdown.
