Good morning, and happy game day for the Patriots’ long-awaited return to the classic red “Pat the Patriot” throwback uniforms. Today the high-scoring Lions come to town, which should be an intriguing game to watch.
Bailey Zappe will make his first professional start and will be facing a Detroit defense that is giving up even more points than their #1 offense is putting up. The big question is, can the Patriots’ offense under Zappe generate enough points to put the Patriots over the top, given his lack of experience?
Helping out is the emergence of Marcus Jones, who was arguably the best kick returner in college last season.
