The Patriots are winners of four in a row and are returning home this week after a very successful three-game road trip. They currently have the keys to the division, being a game up on Buffalo, albeit it is still early in the year.
But in Sunday’s game against Tennessee, other than another slow start by the defense, everything went the way they would have wanted it to. They knew Tennessee would come out strong with the interim coach bump.
But they weathered that and, before halftime, took control of the game. By midway through the third quarter, the game was theirs, and they cruised to an impressive win.
