VIDEO: Patriots Cash in on Blocked Punt With Brandon Bolden Rushing TD
By Mark Powell
Give the Patriots credit, Bill Belichick always stresses the THREE phases of football, and they're taking it literally. While Tom Brady and the offense continue to struggle, the defense and now special teams has set up New England with prime field position. After a blocked punt, Brandon Bolden cashed in with a touchdown run.
Unfortunately for New England, they failed on a two-point conversion that would've made it a one-possession game. Now, with a quarter and change left, the Patriots will need the likes of Brady and their offense to step up big time, matching the poise of the defense and special teams.
