The Patriots won by a score of 36-20, moving to 2-1 on the season. As good of a game as Michel had, it was Pats’ running back Rex Burkhead who stole the show. Burkhead finished the contest with 49 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, 49 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.
The Patriots travel to Kansas City next Sunday to face the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid.
