Bill Belichick cares not about history but only about improving his team
Last night’s prime-time game against the Lions was supposed to be the 2018 version of “on to Cincinnati.” And now the Patriots are on to Miami.

Tom Brady: We haven’t taken advantage of defenses focusing on Gronk
Rob Gronkowski was the Patriots’ leading receiver on Sunday night, but reaching that status with four catches for 51 yards is a pretty good illustration of how dismal a night it was for the New England offense.

Sunday Night wrap-up: Matthew Stafford leads balanced Lions offense

Patriots bounce back quickly in the second half
The Lions dominated the first half, and only led by 10. They may quickly regret not taking more advantage of that.

Lions rolling at halftime, up 13-3 on Patriots
The Lions might not be as far ahead as they could be. And yet, the difference in team speed and efficiency so far between the Lions and Patriots is remarkable.

Lions out to quick 10-0 lead on Patriots
It’s early yet, and there is plenty of time to adjust. But so far, the student is ahead of the teacher.
