FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. What is Gene and Tom Golsen, with the 1926 Louisville Colonels?
If you guessed the answer for that question is about the last and only time the Pro Football Hall of Fame has record of twin brothers playing regular-season games on the same professional football team, take a bow. It also means Patriots defensive backs Devin and Jason McCourty have a chance to do something in 2018 that hasn't been done in 92 years.
That’s one of the fun storylines as a result of the Patriots' acquiring cornerback Jason McCourty -- who is expected to compete for a starting role opposite of Stephon Gilmore -- in a trade Thursday.
