Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots are victims of both their unprecedented success and lack of recent controversy. Without scandals or suspensions to beat like a dead horse (or Colt, maybe?), the topic has turned to whether the Patriots will lose a game during the upcoming season. It’s actually not an absurd conversation to have, as most teams try to improve upon their last season. For Patriots rivals like the Denver Broncos or New York Jets, that means making the playoffs or winning more games than they lost.

Both the Red Sox’s and Yankees’ bullpens were effective in relief of their dominant starters as each team only threatened once in extra innings before Did Gregorius broke through in the 16th inning. Emergency reliever Doug Fister allowed the first two batters of
