The Patriots are using their bye week to reset
Patriots special teams captain Matthew Slater celebrates his recovered punt return fumble.The bye week is coming at a much-needed time for the Patriots, who will have four days off before resuming practice on Monday.
“I think Coach [Bill Belichick] said we’ve been going about 15 weeks straight dating back to training camp,” captain Matthew Slater said. “That’s a grind, physically and mentally, emotionally. It’ll be a nice time for guys to step away and clear their minds and get ready to make a push here.”
