Patriots newcomer Eric Lee contributes with 25 snaps and sack
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Five days after being signed off the Buffalo Bills' practice squad, defensive end Eric Lee played 25 snaps in his NFL debut for the New England Patriots and finished with four tackles and one sack in the team's win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
As is often the case when a player joins the club during the season, the Patriots utilized Lee in a specific package, giving him one thing to focus on with a possibility to expand the role in the future. Lee played in obvious passing situations, which contributed to his higher-than-anticipated playing-time total because the Patriots opened a sizable lead in the second half.
