New England Patriots: Stars of Week 10 Game vs. Giants
New England is one of three remaining undefeated teams after Sunday’s games, improving to 9-0 with a thrilling, last-second 27-26 win over the NY Giants, thanks to a 54-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski.
Amendola notched an 82-yard punt return and also had a game-high 10 catches for 79 yards.
Edelman made a 12-yard catch-and-run on third-and-4 and came up limping at the end of the play after he was tackled by Giants linebacker Jasper Brinkley.
There’s an air of invincibility and inevitability about the New England Patriots.
The Bills however, know all too well how effective Belichick is at filling the void left behind by injured players. We had the ball in the end zone that’s knocked out of the hands. It was tough as it was, but it would have been an even tougher kick. In a great game they could have, they would have and they should have walked away victoriously. Belichick said. “They’ve been out there taking a lot of snaps, a lot of reps and getting that timing and that execution right, and the other person just hasn’t been able to do it. That’s an element of it that we’re going to have to try to obviously work on”.
“When someone’s really integral to part of basically everything you’re doing, and then you lose that person, it may take a little bit to kind of figure out how you can move things around and get comfortable with what you’re doing”, Brady said.
They left MetLife Stadium – or at least they should have left that locker room – with a distinct feeling that they can play with the biggest of the big boys in the National Football League, but just aren’t good enough down the stretch to beat them.
The news will come as a hammer blow to the Patriots, who lost running back Dion Lewis for the season to a knee injury just last week.
Expected to step into that slot role is veteran Danny Amendola. New England’s holder did this with 18 seconds left on the play clock, which was accurate considering the ball was placed just 7 seconds earlier, with the holder already in position on one knee. And certainly Julian has been incredible for us. “It’s just unfortunate to lose such a critical player”.
Edelman’s injury is not dissimilar to the Jones fracture that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant suffered in Week 1 against the NY Giants; Bryant missed six weeks (five games). “We’ll need to find different ways to produce with the guys that are on the field”.
– Malcolm Butler gets a gold star.
Did the NY Giants – again – mis-manage the clock on their final possession Sunday evening in their 27-26 loss to the New England Patriots? And the two showed impressive competitive spirit and sportsmanship throughout.
“I’m happy we got the win in the meantime”. “We’re both out there on the field, playing the same game we love, and both out there competing”. He never gives up and that was the key to that play in the end zone at the end of the game. “You start your preparations all over again”.
