What NFL experts are saying about Sunday’s Patriots-Seahawks game

Commentary

Last weekend was awesome.

But as Lou Brown might say, “Don’t ever &%$#@*& do it again.”

Watching new Patriots quarterback Cam Newton amass 75 yards on the ground over 15 carries turned out to be an electric way for New England to begin its first season in the post-Brady era. But based on Newton’s injury history in recent years, another such approach against the Seattle Seahawks, and you might as well plan on watching Jarrett Stidham or Brian Hoyer the rest of the way this season.

That and, well, you would assume that another opponent would react, at least in part, to the Patriots’ gameplan at some point during the game.
