FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:

1. Underdog mentality: Belief was abundant in the Patriots' locker room over the past week, and perhaps nowhere was that more evident than with eight-year veteran defensive tackle Davon Godchaux.

The Patriots, who visit the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday (4:05 p.m. ET, Fox), are the NFL's biggest underdog of Week 4. They have a 23% chance to win, according to ESPN Analytics.

Tell that to the 6-foot-3, 330-pound Godchaux and he respectfully rejects the premise.
