Leading up to this game, there were a lot of jokes about how the New England Patriots had earned a double-bye week because of their divisional round match up. Local Boston Sports media legend Dan Shaughnessy made his thoughts clear about the Patriots' potential road to the Super Bowl.
I can see how this is going to go:
Titans Tonight.
Jags Next Week
Eagles with Foles in Super Bowl.
Could this get any easier?— Dan Shaughnessy (@Dan_Shaughnessy) January 14, 2018Can you blame him for thinking this way? Personally speaking, this was the first time in my life that I wasn’t nervous for a Patriots playoff game.
