Cleaning out the Patriots notebook from the 28-16 win over the Texans … while looking ahead to Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.
As always, great nuggets Mike!
Regarding end of game throw, I think it was a calculated risk to ice the game and reduce the snaps for defense. It didn’t work out but they never risked losing with that decision
I was a fan of the decision even if didn’t work out. Play to end the game, rather than run into a crowd of 11 guys knowing it’ll force a punt. It’s worked other times this season, I think there was a good chance they could’ve caught them over-committing to the run.
