TAKE THE WIN AND MOVE ON
Forget, for now, the notion of a “good win.” Or a “statement win.” This trip to Tampa Bay was for the Patriots solely about getting a win, however it came — so regardless of the circumstances and hairy moments, all that really mattered is that the Patriots got back on board their refurbished AirKraft with victory No. 3 in the left-hand column.
Nothing has come easy for New England this season, and that was true again Thursday as the team traveled to face an up-and-coming foe on a short week.
