FOXBOROUGH — Things got a little heated at Gillette Stadium Friday night.
Thankfully, however, the warmth was all about the weather and not about any tempers boiling over as they had at joint practices during the week. On this balmy night — it was 85 at kickoff —- was all about flinging footballs rather than flying fists.
The Patriots and Panthers squared off (figuratively speaking, of course) for the third time in four days with New England notching a 20-10 win in the second preseason game for both clubs.
Mac Jones took his first game snaps of the summer and, after a sluggish start, showed a little sizzle and sneak peek at what this Patriots offense is capable of.
