Sure, 5-0 is nice, but the narrative this week is that a weak schedule may have benefitted New England thus far. However, on a short week, this may be the toughest test the Patriots have faced yet.
There’s been a lot to digest in the first five weeks of the NFL season, specifically inside the walls of Gillette Stadium. For New England, that includes a combination of negative media attention thanks to one ‘retired’ NFL receiver, bluffing about Tom Brady’s decline, and bickering of an easy schedule.
Cry about it.
The defending champs are 5-0 and returning home to the Foxboro Faithful on a short week to host the new-look New York Giants on Thursday night.
