""Let them enjoy a win on a short week," Vrabel said after Thursday's 27-14 win over New York. "Like I told them, I'm excited we're 9-2. I'm excited that I don't have to see them until Monday.""
""I'm expecting to see a bunch of guys in the facility throughout the weekend," Patriots linebacker Robert Spillane said. "I'd be very surprised if we don't have 30, 40, 50 guys here over the weekend looking to get recovered, [get] extra lifts in, because we know the real season is ahead of us. Everything that's in the past is in the past, and going forward - this is our season.""
New England improved to 9-2 with a 27-14 Thursday win over the Jets, completing the team's second game in five days. The Patriots face a longer break until Nov. 23 against the Bengals, creating a mini-bye that allows rest and recovery. Head coach Mike Vrabel gave the roster officially off until Monday while adjusting practice workloads earlier in the week to protect players after the short turnaround. Defensive captain Robert Spillane, who logged nine tackles against the Jets, expects many teammates to use team facilities over the weekend for recovery and extra lifts. The leadership core continues to emphasize effort, finish, and accountability as priorities for the season ahead.
