From an ESPN recap: [
www.espn.com]
“ The Patriots had nothing in response, looking nothing like the
team that outscored Buffalo by a combined 65-24 in two games last
season.
New England's offense, in particular, never got going, managing
a mere 51 yards in the first half and six first downs, two by
penalty.
How bad were they? Six minutes into the second quarter, the
Patriots had minus-4 yards of offense.”
New England would go on to finish 14-2 and beat the Panthers in the Super Bowl.
