Sitting Out

Rob Gronkowski and Jerod Mayo were among the players who were dressed on the sidelines but did not see game action. 

Julian Edelman, Aaron Dobson, Matthew Slater and Brandon Lafell and LaGarrette Blount did not dress for the Patriots along with Bryan Stork and Nate Solder on the offensive side of the ball. 

On the defensive side of the ball, Sealver Siliga, Chris Jones and Joe Vellano did not dress.

Gostkowski

Stephen Gostkowski hit one field goal in the game but it was an impressive one from 56 yards toward the open end of the stadium. 

The Patriots tried for a two point conversion and failed after thier only touchdown of the game so Gostkowski did not get to try the new extra point distance. 

Remember, extra points were pushed back to the 15 yard line this season. 

Jonas Gray

Jonas Gray scored the Patriots only touchdown of the game, a 55 yard run to the endzone.

On the night, Gray had seven carries for 74 yards for an average of just under 11 yards per carry. 

Second year players James White had eight rushes for 12 yards but also pulled in four receptions for 52 yards. White was playing a Shane Vereen type of roll for the Patriots in this one. 

Tom Brady

Speculation all week was that Tom Brady was not going to play after being in New York for the better part of the last two days, but to the delight of the crowd Brady played. 

Brady only played two series completed one of four passes for ten yards. The two series he played were a three and out and a four and out. 

Jimmy Garoppolo

Jimmy Garoppolo played the majority of the game for New England and went 20-30 for 159 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. 

Garoppolo was also sacked seven times in part due to the offensive line which was made up of all new players for this game. 

After the game, Garoppolo said that there were "ups and downs" about his performance.
