Giardi: Patriots put together a complementary game and run roughshod over the Panthers

TreVeyon Henderson handled that drive and caps it with a 5-yard td run. Good power to move bodies and cross over the GL. 1st career TD. 21-6, Patriots. I smell a 40-burger.

After that 33-yarder to Stefon Diggs, the Pats now have generated four explosive plays and we're only midway thru the 2nd Q.

Woodson was the free defender there and nearly gets the pick on 3rd and 16. Colliding with Carlton Davis probably cost him the INT. Davos stayed down after the play.

That was a beautiful drive. Pats hit em every which way, capped by Drake's 5-yard TD run. 3 plays of 20+ yards (Hooper TE screen, Gibson jet sweep, Stevenson off fake jet sweep).

Marcus Jones wakes everyone up. 88 yard punt return for a score. He broke one tackle, and then on the reversal, he had a wagon full of blockers and did that thing with ease. Charles Woods was injured on the return by friendly fire. He's walking off however.

Patriots inactives: Jared Wilson, Caedan Wallace, Efton Chism, Elijan Ponder, Eric Gregory and Tommy DeVito (3rd QB). That means Christian Gonzalez is active for the first time this season.

In his playing time (he's at 48% of the offensive snaps), Diggs has proven to be reliable, catching 13 of his 15 targets, and the case is being made that his snaps should increase.

12 plays, 90 yards, and over 6 minutes consumed on that TD drive by the Steelers. Penalties not helping. Tackling still an issue as well (see 3rd down conversion by Warren in which both Williams and Elliss missed). 14-0, Steelers.

The Patriots' two best runs came off of wham and power schemes (Gibson for 15 and Stevenson for 21). Meanwhile, wide zone was largely ineffective.
