Patriots say they’ll practice urgently but are always alert

They have a good core on offense and their defense is finally beginning to see which players will step up as leaders.

“Anytime you miss a couple of games with an injury, obviously you’re not exactly sure how you’re gonna come back”, Bradford said. Getting a win over the Patriots would be huge for the Texans as they try to dethrone the Colts as the division champs. It was a day full of fireworks and to add the fans got to see Tom Brady catch a pass. That had to be one of the cool moments of the game because it is not every day we get to see Brady catch a pass and risk his body like that. “So you’re aware of that”. With less than two minutes left in the half the Patriots punted the ball and the Eagles blocked it and linebacker Najee Goode recovered and returned it for a touchdown. Patriots quarterback TOM BRADY leads the league in passing yards (3,912) and touchdown passes (31).

“Sort of had a chance there at the end”. And even Bill Belichick is being second-guessed.

“I would tell him, ‘Mike, when you’re a coach and you’re calling the defenses, you should go ahead and do that, ‘” Belichick said Wednesday.

Less than a week ago, the Patriots were chasing an undefeated season.

Winston, who went 18-of-27 on completed passes for 227 yards, also rushed for a score from 5-yards, which broke the deadlock late in the first quarter. The decision backfired as the ball was deflected into the arms of Malcolm Jenkins for a 99-yard touchdown return and a 14-point swing on the scoreboard. Brady has seven touchdown passes in his last three games.

“After 12 weeks, we are still in the hunt to make the playoffs”.

“We have to do a better job, that’s what it comes down to”.

“But we’ve got to stop the run against Buffalo”. And also they hadn’t loss back to back games in over three seasons, the fact they played piss poor the previous two games.

The message: “Just to have that belief”. “We knew it wasn’t going to be a cakewalk”.

The points and the home team during primetime is very inviting considering just how banged up the Pats are.

The Patriots took a 14-0 lead before Philadelphia scored five straight touchdowns.

“Everything that people said we can’t do Â- we’ve done before”, safety Jenkins said. “They threw stuff at us that we didn’t”.

The Patriots actually jumped out to a 14-0 lead. You can’t throw it where they have an opportunity to catch it, so that was another bad mental error. Defensively, Houston is allowing 22 points and 332.3 yards per game. On third down, with a chance to run off all but 20 seconds left on the clock, Barner fumbled. Didn’t do enough on offense, turned the ball over, gave up two third-down touchdowns on defense, didn’t play well in the kicking game, just really didn’t do anything well enough to really win.

But the comeback fell short when Brandon LaFell, Danny Amendola and Keshawn Martin all had passes come out of their hands in the final 34 seconds.
