LOS ANGELES — Some notes off the snap counts of Sunday’s Patriots-Chargers game:
u25aa Safety Devin McCourty was on the field for 100 percent of the defense’s snaps. There were some questions about McCourty’s availability after he exited last week’s game with an abdomen injury, but he was a full participant in practice all week and missed no time during the game.
u25aa The Patriots may have questions surrounding their cornerback depth, but McCourty, Adrian Phillips, and Kyle Dugger constitute a strong safety trio. Phillips ranked second on the team Sunday in defensive snaps (92 percent), and certainly made his presence felt with two interceptions, including a pick-6.
