The New England Patriots’ performance against the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving was about as frustrating a mixed bag of results as you can get.
Mac Jones looked better -- but looked skittish in the pocket late. The offensive line was more stable -- but give up sacks in key moments. The receivers made explosive plays -- but dropped the ball in key spots. The defense stopped the run -- but let Justin Jefferson run wild.
Then there was the disaster that was special teams.
Let’s get into some grades:
