FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — One of the biggest questions for the Patriots entering the season was how their defense would look following a series of offseason tweaks.
While the defense certainly had some miscues during New England’s 27-20 victory over Houston on Sunday, it may not be the unit looking to make the most improvement heading into Week 2.
That task probably belongs to special teams, which had several mistakes that allowed the Texans to stay within striking distance for most of the game.
Special teams has been one of the Patriots’ most stable area the past few seasons.
