FOXBORO — The Patriots unveiled a series of spectacular ways to burn a defense by combining the forces of tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Scott Chandler during their season opening win against the Steelers.
Still, Chandler wasn’t anywhere close to full tilt.
The Patriots left a lot in the bag with the 6-foot-7, 260-pounder, who only played 24-of-57 snaps. If the Patriots increase Chandler’s workload Sunday against the Bills, one of their prized offseason additions could burn his former team at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
However, Chandler isn’t ready to entertain that idea.
“If you make it about yourself, you’re taking the wrong approach,” he said.
