Mack Hollins wasn't bragging too much about the New England Patriots' 42-13 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon.
The Patriots entered the game with a 1-2 record, losing games to the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers while getting a road win over the Miami Dolphins. Their expectations of being better than last year is high, which showed in their dominance over Carolina throughout the day.
Hollins reflected on the win after the game, per reporter Zack Cox. He didn't act too overconfident, using a T-Mobile reference to describe his thoughts on the performance.
“I think a win’s a win. I wish it was like T-Mobile and the points could roll over, but that’s not just how it works in this league. So I’ll just take the win,” Hollins said.
