Patriots just buried the curse that began with Julian Edelman’s exit

Complaints about the Patriots' receiving corps are nothing new, and actually go back to when Tom Brady still led the offense. It is one of the leading causes for the quarterback's departure, especially since his final season saw the arrival and departure of Antonio Brown and an unexpected trade for Mohamed Sanu.

Stefon Diggs has been a great addition, along with the rise of Kayshon Boutte, both of whom have had back-to-back 100-yard games over the last two weeks.
