The Patriots Have Some New Weapons—But Are We Convinced Yet?

As is often the case with early-season Patriots games, we are left with a few more questions than we have answers to.

Is this their, we’re re-emerging as a superpower game? The temptation to label it as such is there. They scored almost 40 points. Tom Brady looked fluid with Julian Edelman back in the lineup. Josh Gordon barreled his way through the Colts’ perforated secondary to catch Brady’s 500th career touchdown. Phillip Dorsett snapped off some professional-grade routes and Sony Michel is looking increasingly vicious with each carry. He and James White could finish the season as the NFL’s most devastating tandem.
