"Hoping to extend that to seven, the Patriots had a good opportunity to go into halftime with the lead against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. The game started rough, but with masterful clock management to end the half and potentially the play of the weekend by Stefon Diggs with a toe touch touchdown, they finished the half up 14-10, with hopes of finally double-scoring, as they had the football to start the third quarter."
"That was a staple of the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era, and is a big reason why the Patriots were such a dominant group for two decades. It's a feat they haven't been able to replicate so far this season -until this week, when TreVeyon Henderson hit speeds over 22 mph for a 55-yard touchdown run in the first minute of the second half."
Mike Vrabel brought renewed energy that has the Patriots on a six-game win streak. The team used masterful clock management and a Stefon Diggs toe touch touchdown to lead 14-10 at halftime against the Buccaneers. The Patriots reclaimed the traditional double-score advantage when TreVeyon Henderson ran 55 yards at over 22 mph for a first-minute second-half touchdown. Some play calls by Josh McDaniels coming out of halftime had previously prevented similar starts, but that did not occur in this game. Rookies played key roles, including a notable touchdown from Kyle Williams, and the team looks more explosive.
