Cardinals insider Bob McManaman offers a breakdown of Sunday’s game between the Cardinals and Patriots at Gillette Stadium:
Recap:
Nick Folk kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Patriots to a 20-17 victory over the Cardinals at Gillette Stadium. It was Folk’s 19th consecutive field goal attempt without a miss.
The loss drops the Cardinals to 6-5 and makes their push to return to the playoffs for the first time in five years a lot more uncertain.
The Cardinals had their own chance to kick what they had hoped to be a game-winner, but after Dre Kirkpatrick intercepted a Cam Newton pass late in the fourth quarter, Zane Gonzalez pushed a 45-yard attempt wide right with 1:47 remaining in regulation.
