"There's no doubt the team had plenty of questions to answer after a horrendous performance last Sunday against the Steelers, but they delivered against the NFC South opponent. After a dismal five turnovers the week prior, the Patriots played clean football: zero turnovers on the day. On top of that, their special teams nabbed a touchdown after Marcus Jones took a punt return back for six. A second punt return from Jones got the Patriots into the red zone, too."
"The offense didn't put up ridiculous numbers: Rhamondre Stevenson led rushers with 38 yards, and after Stefon Diggs' 101-yard day, Hunter Henry's 39 yards were the most among pass catchers. Nonetheless, efficiency and clean football ruled. Stevenson, TreyVeon Henderson, and Antonio Gibson all had at least 4.2 yards per carry, and Drake Maye was 14/17. Including Josh Dobbs' sole attempt, the Patriots saw just four balls hit the ground in the passing game."
"The Bills have won the division each year since Tom Brady's departure, marking five seasons of dominance. It doesn't look like anything is going to change at this point, either. The Bills are 4-0, and had a tone-setting comeback against the Ravens in Week 1, outscoring a Lamar Jackson-led offense that put 40 on the board."
The New England Patriots defeated the Carolina Panthers 42-13 to reach a 2-2 record. The Patriots committed zero turnovers after five turnovers the previous week, while special teams produced a touchdown on a Marcus Jones punt return and another return set up a red-zone drive. Rhamondre Stevenson led rushers with 38 yards; Hunter Henry led pass catchers with 39 yards despite Stefon Diggs gaining 101. Runners Stevenson, TreyVeon Henderson, and Antonio Gibson averaged at least 4.2 yards per carry. Drake Maye completed 14 of 17 passes. The offense saw only four drops, and momentum is needed heading into a Week 5 meeting with the 4-0 Buffalo Bills.
