Sunday’s win over the Chargers was a breakout game for a team that played about as complete a contest as we’ve seen all season. Here are some final thoughts before we turn the page to the Rams.
1) It’s not often you throw for 69yds and help build a 38-point lead, but that’s what Cam Newton managed to do on Sunday before giving way to back-up QB, Jarrett Stidham.
While special teams accounted for 14 of New England’s total of 45 on the afternoon, Newton had a direct hand in 21 of those other points for the Patriots offense.
