FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Starting linebacker Kyle Van Noy was inactive for the New England Patriots' 33-3 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night as his wife Marissa was in labor with the couple’s first child.
Van Noy is a key cog, yet the deep, talented unit still delivered a dominating performance, which could be a preview of great things ahead. Van Noy, from afar, shared his excitement over what was unfolding against Ben Roethlisberger and Co.
How about that defense?!?!?!?!? Them boys hungraaaayyyyyy!! My guys!!!!
In an offseason headlined by how the Patriots might replace retired tight end Rob Gronkowski, and if they have enough weapons around 42-year-old quarterback Tom Brady, the defense has at times been overlooked.
