Despite ongoing offensive struggles and an AFC East-worst 1-5 record, the New England Patriots seem to be making strides to involve a key skill player.
In his third season with the team, wide receiver Kendrick Bourne hauled in 10 catches on 11 targets for 89 yards to lead the Patriots in a 21-17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6.
Sunday marked the first time in a Patriots uniform that Bourne caught double-digit passes in a single game. When the 28-year-old consistently gets the ball, he makes plays.
