A game between the Giants and the New England Patriots is the NFL’s version of a celebrity gala attended by big stars – with one major exception. – Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has passed his first post-concussion test after leaving Sunday’s game against visiting St. Louis following an ugly hit to the head. It did not come through contact with another player, instead Lewis fell to the ground while making a cut.

According to The Boston Globe, the New England Patriots losses in their win over the Redskins could be too much to deal with.
NY trails the all-time regular season series with New England 4-5, but the Giants have won both of the postseason meetings in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI.
The league’s other two 8-0 teams, the Cincinnati Bengals and Carolina Panthers, followed New England.
The Patriots are indeed a very good football team, as their average margin of victory is more than 16 points. Despite rushing for more than 1,000 yards in each of two years of junior college and one year at OR, Blount went undrafted in 2010.
Brady is having a magnificent season.
Can the Giants contend with tight end Rob Gronkowski?
Tennessee ended a six-game losing streak after Marcus Mariota’s five-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Fassano in overtime gave the Titans a 34-28 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Substitute middle linebacker Jasper Brinkley and rookie safety Landon Collins better be up to the task. The family started a Facebook page to encourage people across the country to do a good deed for someone else.
Manning’s favorite target is second-year wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has developed into one of the most risky offensive weapons in the league. Veteran wideouts Danny Amendola and Brandon LaFell have 30 and 11 catches on the year, with LaFell’s coming in only three games.
Edelman and LeGarrette Blount scored touchdowns for New England before the Redskins ran their second play.
4a. Pat Chung: It’s a three-way tie for fourth place, as the defensive backfield combined to limit the Washington’s passing offense.
Brandon Bolden is expected to assume Lewis’s role for the rest of the season, alongside LaGarrette Blount.
“They do a lot of different things that create disruptive plays for their defence”, Patriots offensive co-ordinator Josh McDaniels said. While the quantity is large, it is also a matter of quality as well, as Rutgers alum Logan Ryan leads the team in interceptions with four. He also has 38 total tackles on the year. Last week, the Giants posted a 32-18 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. A third member of the Rutgers’ quartet, Duron Harmon, has three interceptions on the season as the team’s third safety.
“Every week is tough to be in a hole, but we know this team is a great football team and they’ve earned it for a long time”, Cousins said. As the team prepares to enter the second half of the season, Jones has recorded 9.5 sacks, which has him on pace to break the team’s franchise record.
With Brady’s quick release, there probably won’t be many chances for sacks. Middle linebackers Uani ‘Unga and Jasper Brinkley are big enough, but not fast enough to contain Gronk. And never once have any of us given a bro hug as heartfelt and meaningful as the one Matt Patricia gave Lewis when he came out of the game. As his run defense continues to improve, Jones will quickly establish himself as the all-around defensive player Bill Belichick falls in love with.

Since the beginning of the free agency and salary cap era in 1993, no coach and team has been more well-known for shrewd moves to stay under the salary cap and bringing in free agents to supplement the talent on his team, and win at the same time, as the New England Patriots.
