FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. Tippett on Judon: Outside linebacker Matthew Judon has recorded a sack in each of the first four games of the 2022 season. He joins Pro Football Hall of Famer Andre Tippett as the only Patriots to start a season accomplishing that feat.
Tippett did it in 1986, and he’ll be watching Sunday, as Judon -- wearing throwback uniforms and helmets from Tippett’s playing days -- attempts to become the first player in franchise history to notch at least one sack in each of the first five games of a season.
