Before I begin, the 2022-23 NFL season would like to give a nice, big “Andy’s room welcome” to the Patriots offense. Thanks for showing up last week. If you could stick around for a while that would be great. Seriously. Make yourself at home, but please leave the penalties, miscues and poor execution outside.
For those watching Thanksgiving night, the Pats’ biggest obstacle vs. the Vikings was tripping over themselves. The second obstacle was defending WR Justin Jefferson. To be fair, Jefferson was a man on fire giving the defense all they could handle. But even with his stats (9 of 11 targets, 139 yards, 1 TD, 1 PA 11 yards) the Patriots went toe-to-toe all game long with the No.
