The New England Patriots defeated the Cincinnati Bengals by a 16-10 score in Week 1. The early returns were strong for New England, especially on the defensive side of the football.
One of the players who had a stellar game in particular was defensive end Keion White.
The second-year player had 2.5 sacks, three quarterback hits, two tackles for a loss and four total tackles. White has often been viewed as the potential replacement for Matthew Judon, and he showed that versatile ability in the opener.
After the game, White was quick to credit his coach, Jerod Mayo, for the team securing their first win of the season.
