Three weeks into the 2020 season, there’ve been very few surprises for the Patriots as a team.
Even if we were living in normal times, and even if Tom Brady were still here, the team would almost certainly have a 2-1 record at this point of the schedule. A boring win over the Dolphins at home, a hard-fought loss to the Seahawks on the road and a bounce-back win against an overrated Raiders team -- you didn’t have to follow Jon Gruden’s bunch back to Las Vegas to win big on that notion.
Individually, the No. 1 revelation has been the return to form of Cam Newton, Sunday’s relative clunker notwithstanding.
