MORSE: 15 Observations from Patriots’ Upset of Denver

I always want to win even at the cost of losing draft position. I must give the Patriots players credit; they have not quit. They are playing for pride, for their coach and they want to win. Just look at the players that were missing; Judon, Gonzalez, Strange, Smith-Schuster, Henry, Slater, Stevenson, and Peppers. That’s 8 starters! How many teams would have rolled over and died, with nothing to play for except their next contract? Don’t worry about the draft pick, it is only going to make the Patriots decision easier when it comes to the draft. I won’t spoil it here, but I have definite thoughts on the draft and will present those once the season has ended.
