FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. Zappe's honor: Bill Belichick might be philosophically opposed to publicly announcing Bailey Zappe as the Patriots' starting quarterback, but he made it clear to the team this past week by giving Zappe one of the most prestigious honors.
Belichick singled out Zappe in a team meeting as a Patriot of the Week, along with special teams captain Matthew Slater, veteran cornerback Jonathan Jones and safety Jabrill Peppers.
