The Patriots rarely ever lose back-to-back games and looked to make sure it did not happen against the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.
Well, it did not happen, but it was nothing the Pats did. We all know why the Patriots won, but I’ll go ahead and say it anyway. The Buccaneers kicker, Nick Folk, couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat.
The Buccaneers were again missing key players in Lavonte David, Kwon Alexander, T.J. Ward, and even Keith Tandy now. The offense struggled at times, but Doug Martin looked sharp in his return.
