The Patriots selected a cornerback they trust with punt and kick returns, a starting left guard, a winning quarterback, a rotational defensive tackle and wide receiver and a linebacker they liked so much they traded Jamie Collins.

St. Louis is 2-5-1 away from home, and while they still are averaging 2.5 goals per game, their goals against average is 4.1 in those games.

Adrian Peterson Injury: Vikings Star Could Return In December, Per Report

They rank dead last in the NFL with 2.7 yards per rushing attempt and 70 rushing yards per game. It’s made their offense one-dimensional and was a major reason why they lost four straight games after a 5-0 start. Minnesota visits the Detroit Lions on Thursday for a pivotal NFC
