They picked up a first down with Mac Jones hitting Kendrick Bourne on a quick hitter, before taking a deep shot to Nelson Agholor, who reeled in a perfectly thrown pass for 44-yards. New England started their first drive with a Damien Harris rush attempt straight up the gut that went for three yards. They fed Ekeler again, and he was able to keep his legs driving just long enough for his teammates to push him into the end zone for a touchdown. They were able to force Los Angeles into a 4th-and-1 situation from the New England 7-yard line, but Austin Ekeler converted with a two yard run to get them inside the five. They picked up a quick first down on a catch-and-run by Jared Cook that went for 12 yards, before taking a play-action shot where Herbert connected with Keenan Allen for 41-yards to get into the red zone. Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense started out at their own 25-yard line following a Jake Bailey touchback. New England deferred its choice to the second half. Matthew Slater called heads (of course) and the coin came up heads (of course). Star running back Austin Ekeler will be active despite missing the last two practices of the week.

The offense found their stride late, and was able to successfully take advantage of the Chargers’ defensive deficiencies to come away with the win. In the words of head coach Bill Belichick, it was an opportunity to “buy into some of the things we’ve been doing.”īuy into those things they did, as they held Chargers star quarterback Justin Herbert to just 51% passing while intercepting him twice. But this week presented itself as a chance for New England to put together back-to-back strong performances. They’ve also been in more dire situations, like entering last week’s matchup against the New York Jets with a 2-4 record. Sure, they faced better teams in the form of the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The New England Patriots’ contest with the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday was as big a test as they’ve faced all season.
