Cyrus Jones Downgraded To Out Due To Illness For Patriots’ Game Vs. Jets
Share this: We already know who one of the New England Patriots inactives will be for their Sunday matchup against the New York Jets. The Patriots announced Saturday night that rookie cornerback Cyrus Jones had been downgraded to out for Sunday’s game due to an illness. The Patriots declared CB Cyrus Jones (illness) out. He didn't make the trip to NY. — Doug Kyed (@DougKyed) November 27, 2016 This won’t be the first time Jones has been inactive this season. He also didn’t play in three straight games following his ejection during the Pats’ 33-13 win over the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 9. The 2016 second-round pick has spent time as a kick and punt returner, too. Unlike Jones, Rob Gronkowski, Tom Brady, Chris Hogan, Julian Edelman
Patriots Film Review: Examining Failed Goal-Line Series In Loss To Seahawks
Share this: The New England Patriots didn’t lose Sunday night solely because of a final offensive goal-line series in which they gained just 1 yard on four plays, but they trailed the Seattle Seahawks by seven points late in the fourth quarter, and the game fittingly came down to a pass from the 1-yard line. Let’s go through that final offensive series, when the Patriots failed to convert. The Patriots got to the 2-yard line on deep passes from Tom Brady to Julian Edelman (30 yards) and Rob Gronkowski (26 yards). On first and goal with 43 seconds remaining, the Patriots ran a quarterback keeper with Brady in which they admittedly intended not to score. Brady previously had converted on two short-yardage situations earlier
Patriots-Seahawks Takeaways: Cornerbacks Flounder In Week 10 Loss
Share this: It’s time to start worrying about the New England Patriots’ defense. The Patriots led the NFL in points allowed per game entering their Week 10 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks and dropped all the way down to sixth after the 31-24 loss. The Patriots’ defense wasn’t passing the “eye test” even while preventing points, and their level of competition wasn’t exactly high-powered, but they were still winning. The Seahawks are the type of team the Patriots will face in the playoffs, and they struggled and lost. Some of the Patriots’ biggest issues came in pass coverage. Here’s how the Patriots individually fared in pass coverage, pass rush, pass protection and accuracy. PASS COVERAGELogan Ryan: 6-12, 101 yards, TD, PBUMalcolm Butler: 7-8, 66 yards, TDElandon
Importance Of Rob Gronkowski, Martellus Bennett For Patriots Can’t Be Overstated
Share this: One of the many things New England Patriots fans were looking forward to this season was how the two-tight end sets with Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett would look like. But the results so far have been mixed. The Gronk-Bennett duo was on full display was in the Patriots’ win over the Cleveland Browns in Tom Brady’s first game back from his four-game Deflategate suspension. Gronk didn’t have a touchdown, but he did haul in 109 receiving yards on five catches. Bennett, meanwhile, had three touchdowns and 67 yards receiving. So, will New England get that sort of performance out of Gronkowski and Bennett on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks? NESN.com’s Michaela Vernava and Matt Chatham discussed that and more in the video from “NESN
