Dropped passes hurting Patriots badly
Cordarrelle Patterson returns the kickoff to the Detroit 31.
Tom Brady takes it out of the shotgun on first down and gets it to Chris Hogan for a 9-yard gain. Sony Michel gets 7 yards on the ground on second down to give the Patriots a first down.
Brady misses Michel on first down. Brady throws it to the rookie back again on second down, and this time, it bounces off his hands. Third-and-10 coming up. Gronkowski is the target on a deep throw and he's unable to overcome great coverage from DeShawn Shead to bring it down.
