So to answer the offensive line play. The left tackle had seven bad plays. And there were 11 more bad line plays in both aspects of the offense, with one being a false start. There also wasn't good separation from the pass catchers. A recurring problem.
On offense Brissett was accurate majority of the game, keeping the ball out of harms way minus a 50/50 ball. His decision making was good enough to manage the offense and that's the very least one wants from their starter.
The two running backs combined for 138 yards rushing. They never stopped moving the ball for majority of the game, repeatedly battering the defensive line.
The pass catchers hands were solid almost all game long, showing that while they might not be able to get decent separation, they were possession receivers.
Special teams was excellent all around. Two good punts, three field goals, and forcing a turnover.
On defense it was a bend don't break soft pass coverage that only got beat 10 times, with two that could've been costly.
There were a few plays where tackling could've been better or was missed. Overall a good day for the patriots who beat the Bengals. I will say, Joe Burrow's decision making or vision was not on today as he missed somethings. The Patriots are 1-0. It's a new era in New England, and the team is off to a good start. The big concern is Mayo cannot let this be the teams superbowl.
