How sustainable is Patriots' success? Curran weighs in originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The 16-10 final score doesn't do the New England Patriots' Week 1 win justice. Jerod Mayo's group played a near-perfect game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
There were game-changing plays on offense, defense, and special teams. Tight end Hunter Henry broke up a likely Jacoby Brissett interception and the Patriots finished the drive with a field goal. Safety Kyle Dugger forced a fumble at the goal line to prevent a Bengals touchdown.
