With the Denver win, the Patriots suffered their first loss of the season and the Broncos improved to 9-2. But they’re the ones with the flags, and they blow [the whistle]. “We have to go out there and beat them because it’s getting towards the end of the season and we have to continue to win”.
Harper filled in as the team’s primary punt returner with both Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola out with injuries.
Continuing the trend of unfortunate luck for the Patriots, tight end Rob Gronkowski also went down with a knee injury late in the game Sunday. Linebacker Dont’a Hightower (knee) left the first half of Sunday night’s loss in Denver and did not return.
“I don’t think [Broncos S Darian Stewart] meant to do it intentionally or anything”. “We didn’t get any last night”.
DOUBTING THOMAS: Thomas had a tough day for the Broncos.
“Obviously, the weather played a little bit of a factor into it”, Osweiler said.
Chandler has had too many drops in his first season in New England, and even though he caught a pair of passes totaling 32 yards on the injury-plagued Patriots last-minute drive to a game-tying field goal, Brady knows he’s going to continue to need more production from the veteran. And I think everyone felt the same way.
OFF AND RUNNING: One benefit to having Osweiler in the lineup is that it opens up the running lanes because defenses have to respect his mobility and can’t just pinch the backfield at the snap. The Philadelphia Eagles ground game is averaging 114.5 yards per contest, and DeMarco Murray leads the way with 545 yards and four touchdowns.
Anderson said he and Ronnie Hillman are “making the right cuts and making the right reads”.
In other NFL Week 13 betting action the Giants will be 2.5-point underdogs when they face the New York Jets on Sunday, while the undefeated Panthers are favored by seven points at the New Orleans Saints, and the Broncos visit the San Diego Chargers as four-point chalk.
“Like I said, there’s things that we could have done better”.
