FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Patriots returned home Sunday on a three-game winning streak following big wins the previous two weeks in Los Angeles and Carolina. They are 4-0 on the road this season, and players say part of the reason is that the road stadiums in which they've played have been pretty packed with Patriots fans.
"It's been great," tight end Hunter Henry told me a few days ago. "Pats Nation has really traveled well."
But until Sunday, the 2021 version of the Patriots hadn't given the home fans much to cheer about.
