WR Floyd cheered by Patriots fans in debut

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Wide receiver Michael Floyd made his New England Patriots debut in Saturday's 41-3 victory over the New York Jets, finishing with one catch for six yards in a limited role that was acknowledged by fans who twice gave him loud ovations.

"To have support from the crowd and teammates, it means a lot," Floyd said after the game. "It feels great."

Floyd's first play came on the Patriots' second drive, as quarterback Tom Brady targeted him down the left sideline. Floyd caught the ball out of bounds, yet that didn't stop the crowd from cheering him.
