Welcome to the Wednesday War Room, where Yahoo Sports’ football minds kick around the topics of the day. Got an idea for a question you want us to kick around? Email us here. Today, we’re talking the problematic Patriots and the first quarter MVP. Onward!
Question 1: What’s up with the Patriots? Normal early-season jitters, or foreshadowing of a train wreck?
Anthony Sulla-Heffinger:
Does anyone actually believe the Patriots dynasty is about to fall? I certainly don’t. Sure, New England’s defense is struggling right now, but it was bound to have a drop off following last year’s stellar effort and it has played two games without Dont’a Hightower – arguably its most important player.
