Decent three-week stretch for Kayshon Boutte lmao

This is a first step in adding depth at edge rusher. Murphy was with Vrabel in TEN in 2023. We'll write more about it later this week, but look for the Pats to continue seeking pass rush help as the trade deadline nears.

Source: The #Patriots claimed LB Caleb Murphy off waivers from the #Chargers.

TE Austin Hooper: “Stef was in motion. When you have Stefon Diggs in motion, everyone’s eyes naturally go that direction. Corner was pressed on me, safety was a little inside. So took a slight inside release. Saw space towards the back pylon. And Drake gave me a good ball.”

WR Pop Douglas was Patriots game captain Sunday vs. Titans. Fitting, with the Spiderman-like catch on fourth down (No. 4 play on SC Top 10). Prior game captains: DE/OLB K'Lavon Chaisson, OT Morgan Moses, DT Milton Williams, S Jaylinn Hawkins, WR Stefon Diggs, DT Khyiris Tonga.

Rome Odunze has been acquired straight-up in trades on Yahoo today for: -Khalil Shakir -Aaron Jones -Rhamondre Stevenson -Travis Etienne -D'Andre Swift What's stopping YOU, a scholar, from being next?

Awful: Many Patriots fans are DMing Drake Maye's wife after thier win yesterday sending inappropriate messages. This is just flat out strange and unneccesary. Leave NFL players’ families out of sports 🤦‍♂️

Stefon Diggs pointing/waving before Kayshon Boutte catches a 39-yard TD:

The Patriots ranked 31st in explosive pass percentage (defined as completions of 16 or more yards) last season. They ranked 30th the year before that. This season, they rank 3rd.

16-yard completion. 1st down.

.@DrakeMaye2 gave Vrabes the game ball 👏 @WEEI | #NEPats

Essentially two things can be true: The Patriots' schedule is full of cupcake games. And also, even when you adjust for opponents, they're playing really well.

Most touches this season without a gain of 20+ yards: Isiah Pacheco (77) Rachaad White (69) Kenneth Gainwell (65) Zach Charbonnet (64) TreVeyon Henderson (59)

Vintage play-sequencing from #Patriots OC Josh McDaniels. Titans started the game in two-high shells, so McDaniels ran it downhill at lighter boxes (left). In the second half, Tennessee adjusted to more single-high, so McDaniels hit them with play-action off lead (right).

What. A. Catch. @KayshonBoutte1 #ShotOnSony | #SonyPartner

It feels like Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs can do this whenever they want, which is the type of thing the #Patriots offense hasn't had in a minute.

I can’t stop watching this throw. Drake Maye is going to be the face of the NFL.

The Titans scored their lone TD on a play they hadn't called yet this year, which doubled as a tendency-breaker mid-game. TEN had spammed Flood concepts (passes with short, intermediate and deep routes to 1 sideline), then ran a post here instead of a clear-out or corner route.

Cam Ward hit some elite throws early against the #Patriots. Good defense, better offense here.

Brad’s back in Boston.

Becoming a staple for the #Patriots offense on third down. Diggs finds the soft spot in the zone this time for a 24-yard gain. Nice pickup by Will Campbell on the stunt, too.

Drake Maye left the field after hitting his head mid-game yesterday, and quickly returned. Sometimes, concussion symptoms can surface a day later, but Mike Vrabel said he's not "aware of" Maye being in any protocol today.

The Patriots' offense ranks second in dropback EPA/play.
