Patriots Week 16 Report Card: No Quit With Team After Upset Win

We hope that everyone had a great Christmas. We’re sure the plane ride home to New England was a cheerful one for the team.

The Patriots’ players could care less about your early draft binkies of Williams, Maye, or Harrison. They continue to play hard for their coach, which may end up playing a role in what the owners decide in the Bill Belichick decision.

And their hard work was rewarded in Denver, of all places, on Christmas Eve, where the team pulled off a last-second win, 26-23, over the Broncos when Chad Ryland booted a 56-yard field goal, getting a big dose of redemption after missing a FG and an extra point.
