FanaticsThe Patriots have a quarterback. Next: They have to spend every resource they possibly can to give him an offensive line. What they're putting in front of Drake Maye is probably three acquisitions or so away from being good enough.

Game News
Marvin Harrison vs. Christian Gonzalez is pretty awesome to watch. Both look like future All-Pros.
Vederian Lowe out to lunch on the last two plays.
For the 2nd straight year, Marcus Jones is your best player with the ball in his hands. Something to address this off-season.
Not been a banner day for Jahlani Tavai. At least 3 missed tackles. Then again, this hasn't been a banner day from just about on anyone on the Pats with the Pats, affiliated with the Pats, etc etc...
Marte Mapu, the pick that made some Pats personnel scratch their heads (at the time), is inactive for a 2nd straight game. Not great.
@MikeGiardi: Cole Strange one of five inactives for the Patriots. Javon Baker, Marte Mapu (again, not great), Tyrese Robinson and Joe Milton.
Felt like Antonio Gibson might have gotten the line to gain on 3rd down but they ruled him short, and then Stevenson was stuffed on 4th down. Best drive of the day ends without points.
Jacoby Brissett on early-season struggles: I'm not one to make excuses, but watch the film and understand what I was dealing with. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…
The Patriots are on the verge of being comically bad. The latest: A pass squarely off the hands of Kayshon Boutte leads to an INT.
At this point, just looking at who else has struggled to this degree as a rookie, Ja'Lynn Polk will be a total outlier if he turns around his career and becomes a decent WR.
@DougKyed: I don't want to make it seem like I'm picking on the guy, I just can't believe it's still not improving. But Ja'Lynn Polk played 20 snaps, 10 on passing downs, and didn't make a catch on one target.
Through three drives, already three key mistakes from three different Patriots offensive linemen. -- Layden Robinson's hold that wiped out a third-down conversion -- Vederian Lowe's easy sack allowed -- Ben Brown snapping it to Drake Maye's shoelaces
Trey McBride is now up to 87 catches this season, the most catches without a receiving touchdown in a single season in NFL history. And that catch came on the 1-yard line…
That time of year: The #AZCardinals have added RT Jonah Williams to the injury report with an illness and he is officially questionable today.
Kyler Murray's rushing yards and fantasy points per game splits: Weeks 1-7: 46.4 YPG, 17.7 FF PPG Weeks 8-15: 18.6 YPG, 15.6 FF PPG The Call of Duty Curse continues?

The Arizona Cardinals have lost second-year running back Emari Demercado for at least the remainder of the regular season, as he was placed on injured reserve on Saturday with a back injury.
His absence will change the dynamic of the running back room and their roles in Week 15 when the Cardinals face the New England Patriots.
Because Michael Carter was not elevated to the active roster, the Cardinals will only have three backs available.
Demercado’s role was as the team’s third-down back, so someone’s role is about to expand
The Cardinals have had to turn to quarterback Clayton Tune in the third quarter of their game against the Patriots.
It’s a short inactive list for the Arizona Cardinals in today’s against the Patriots because the team has only 51 players on the active roster after placing punter Blake Gillikin and running back Emari Demercado on injured reserve Saturday.
Most notable is that right tackle Jonah Williams, who was added to the injury report Sunday morning with an illness, is active. Kelvin Beachum is ready in the event Williams experiences any struggles during the game.
The four inactives are players that have been on the list the last few weeks: Tackle Christian Jones, tight end Travis Vokolek, wide receiver Xavier Weaver and defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga
