And just like that, the preseason is over.
It seems like just yesterday we were chomping at the bit to get a glimpse of the new-look Bill O’Brien offense and of rookie corner Christian Gonzalez. The next time we’ll see them and the rest of the New England Patriots will be on September 10, when they open the regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The preseason fizzled to a close in Nashville as New England’s offense sputtered behind a backup offensive line. The Patriots were able to stifle Tennessee’s offense for most of the game before third stringers entered the game on both sides.
