The Patriots lost their top running back, Sony Michel, to a knee injury, and committed three turnovers, but they came away from the game with their first road win of the season.

It was a week that had started with people trying to debate if Chicago’s Khalil Mack had reached the level of Coach Bill Belichick’s former star, Lawrence Taylor. But Belichick brushed off the comparison, and once the game actually began Mack was a non-factor, regularly dropping back into pass coverage and looking severely limited as a result of a lingering ankle injury.
