There’s a different feeling around this New England Patriots team following their Week 2 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Call it optimism or just plain excitement for a team that finally looks like it has life.
That season-opener against the Miami Dolphins—you know, the one where the Patriots turned the ball over three times and got stomped out of South Beach by their division rivals?
That feels like ancient history after the team went on the road and staved off one of the scariest defensive teams in football.
But consistency is key for that Dolphins game to remain an afterthought. The Patriots have to figure out a way to maintain the same level of production they showed against Pittsburgh heading into Sunday’s matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.
And they’ll need every player on the roster to do it. Today, we’re going to take a look at some of those players in this week’s stock evaluation.
