Biggest Takeaways from New England Patriots’ Week 10 Win

The catch would’ve given the Giants a 29-24 lead, and they were ready to attempt a two-point conversion when the Beckham touchdown was overturned by replay and ruled incomplete. “Danny’s role has been very different than Julian’s was for us”.

Notes: Linebacker Jamie Collins (illness) missed his second straight game after failing to get on the practice field last week. He’s good for it though.

New York Giants wide receiver Rueben Randle (82) gives New England Patriots free safety Devin McCourty (32) a stiff arm after a pass reception during the second half at MetLife Stadium.

-Cornerback Malcolm Butler had the biggest catch of 2014 when he closed out the season with a Super Bowl-clinching interception.

Edelman’s injury occurred after he caught a 12-yard pass from Brady at the end of the first quarter. But you don’t beat the Patriots with field goals.

Butler is growing in a good corner right before our eyes. He’s thrown at least two touchdowns in every game this season, and can match his personal-best streak of 10 such games if he throws two against the Bills. Beckham embellished his celebration with a salute at attention to the crowd; the Giants honored the military before the game.

Stephen Gostkowski set off a celebration on a Boston-bound airplane.

“A awful throw”, said Brady. The Pats players don’t treat him as the kicker, they treat him as just another member of the 53 and that’s saying something.

“We have to kick a field goal, which makes you right away anxious because they have an outstanding kicker who might kick it from 58 to 60 yards, he’s done that before”, Coughlin said.

“I try not to follow the game too much”, Gostkowski said. On Sunday, he pulled in 10 of his 11 targets for 79 yards, including three clutch catches on the Patriots’ game-winning drive in the final minute. “Kind of when we lost (tackle Sebastian Vollmer) last week, you have all these things on the call sheet that you’re kind of ready for and you plan for”, Brady said. Granted, he’s only hauled in 13 of them, but that’s likely to do with him needing to regain his rhythm within the offense and with Tom Brady.

– The injury bug gets a penalty flag.

The loss of Dion Lewis hurt their offense because of the added dimension he brought to the table. That is in addition to an offensive line that has been in constant flux this season and got exposed a bit by the Giants.

The team needs to get through the next couple of games and be injury free.

And all who have paid any attention to their recent history knows that when the Giants get into the playoffs, anything can happen.

The Giants moved the ball well against the Patriots’ defense, with Eli Manning aggressively attacking the secondary down the field. But to see how bad they are up close was just insane.

It certainly wasn’t ideal, but this might have been the most impressive win of the season for the Pats. Tom Coughlin needs to get that under control because it keeps costing his team.
