The New England Patriots were the most heavily disregarded underdog in the NFL in Week 1. Some lines had them as high as 8.5-point underdogs against the Cincinnati Bengals.
It was refreshing to watch for once, as the Patriots' defense looked solid and the offense found a way to keep the ball moving forward even when things weren't clicking. They competed for four quarters and found a way to pull off an upset on the road.
However, this wasn't any ordinary win. They held Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and the rest of the Bengals' potent offense to just 10 points.
