On Saturday, Kendrick Bourne was watching a college football team get blown out 50-7, wondering whether the Patriots could put up 50 points — a “50-ball” — against the Jets the next day.
“I don’t know if we got answers or whatnot, but it was crazy man,” Bourne said with a chuckle after the Patriots rolled to a 54-13 victory. “Everybody playing well like that, you can get those results. I was really screaming, ’50-ball’ on the sideline, just an exciting game, a game we needed to show us what we’re capable of.”
Bourne (four catches, 68 yards) had a pair of enormous plays.
