Here are the Patriots’ snap count totals on offense and defense against the Panthers.
The results for the Patriots offense look better than the process leading up to it. 30 points against a very good Panthers defense is nothing to sniff at, but the team averaged just over 5.5 yards per play (lowest since Week 1), and took till the fourth quarter to really get going.
Having said that, personnel wise, we got to see the team that the Patriots will most likely ride or die with in the 2017 season.
