FOXBOROUGH – The late Dennis Green once famously said in a postgame press conference, “They are who we THOUGHT they were!!”
Same applies here to the Patriots as they faced the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
The woebegone Jags, a few weeks removed from firing head coach Urban Meyer and trying to put their franchise back together, came to Foxborough with everyone expecting a Patriot blowout win. Mired in a two-game losing streak, the Patriots were looking for a “get well win” much like the 54-13 win over the Jets that launched the seven-game win streak.
