Picking up the pieces after Super Bowl LIII …
1. To be as malleable as the Patriots are, it takes a certain kind of player with a certain kind of work ethic and football IQ to fit in with the team. When they’ve won in the past, the guys in charge have had no problem conceding how hard it is to be in their program, and last night was no exception.
