The New England Patriots picked up their third win of the season against the Chicago Bears in Week 10. The team also picked up former Pro Bowl pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue. The Patriots were pretty quiet at the trade deadline so the team hopes the veteran defensive end can be a boost to its defense.

Head coach Jerod Mayo sees Ngakoue as a three-down player. “I'm excited to really teach him the playbook and excited to see what he will bring to this team. Look, he's not just a pass rusher.
