Welcome to the Unconventional Review, an instant reaction to standouts, stats, and story lines from the Patriots’ game . . .
The talented, well-coached, healthy team did what it was supposed to do.
It remained focused and eventually wore down the talented, well-coached, injury-ravaged team that found a way to stay with them for a while but didn’t have enough to do it all day.
The Patriots forced four turnovers and outscored the Titans, 20-0, in the second half in a 36-13 victory Sunday at Gillette Stadium. They’ve won six straight games, and while some flaws might have been exposed (the Titans ran for 270 yards on 39 carries), anyone who suggests at this point that they’re not a true contender in the AFC is doing so because they don’t want to believe it.
