A week-long trip to Wisconsin reached a crescendo for the New England Patriots in Saturday’s preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.
The game was ultimately cut short early in the fourth quarter after a horrific head injury suffered by Patriots rookie cornerback Isaiah Bolden. Fortunately, Bolden was able to fly back home with the team after spending the night in the hospital and appears to be in good spirits.
As for the game itself, it was a positive showing from the Patriots with up and down moments. The offense showed signs of life, but the offensive line looked like a mess at times.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Patriots got gashed on the ground for 119 yards and a touchdown, but they had multiple players step up on the backend against the Packers’ passing attack.
Today, we’re taking a look at the best and worst Pro Football Focus grades in the game for the Patriots. This is simply a measure of performance with limited reps in one game. It isn’t the be-all-end-all evaluation for players. So please take it with a grain of salt.
