I didn’t realize that Rob Ninkovich’s beard was the only thing that prevented opposing teams from scoring points.
The New England Patriots dropped to 2-2 on the season after a last-second field goal ended their comeback and the Carolina Panthers walked away with a 33-30 victory. The Patriots are now the 8th team in NFL history to both score and allow 30 points per game over the first four games of the season, and are one of four teams to both score and allow 32 points per game over that span.
