Wow, wow, wow, wow. How good was last night? Like seriously, it was like us fans had been thrown into a vortex and transferred back a couple of seasons. Here are the ups and downs from Week 13.

Ups ⬆️

Gunner Olszewski

I’ve been as critical as they come of Gunner in recent weeks, and in my defense, for good reason. But yesterday, he sparked into life and showed me that he can be a returner in this league. Whilst the late touchdown pass from Stidham was the icing on the cake of a very impressive day, the punt return touchdown was his shining moment, as well as his other big return later on in the game.

I don’t see his future being on the offense, but I’m happy for him to stick around on special teams. -Just a side note, there’s nothing like seeing guys get their first-ever NFL touchdown, always brings a smile to my face.

Some support for the linebacker and special teams group arrives today as the Patriots make Jack Cichy their third waiver claim of the season.

Cichy has battled various injuries since he was drafted by Tampa Bay in 2018, now, he joins the Patriots main roster following his release yesterday.

He’ll need to clear COVID protocols before being eligible to join the rest of the team, a new late-season addition to analyze as the team heads down the final stretch.

In the first game of their 2018 season playoff run, the Patriots hosted the Chargers at Gillette Stadium.

The first quarter saw 21 points scored in what was an exciting encounter. On the game’s first possession, the Patriots roared downfield with ease to allow Sony Michel to walk in the ball for the opening score.

Patriots vs Cardinals – Player Ups & Downs

by

Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports

I never, ever, get tired of VICTORY MONDAY! Now, yesterday’s win wasn’t the most glamorous in franchise history, but it sure felt good. Here are the ups and downs from Week 12.

Ups ⬆️

Adam Butler

Adam Butler is top of the ups today, and for good reason. He was the star performer in yesterday’s close win against Arizona. Butler caused problems during the game whilst recording a sack, two tackles for loss, three QB hits, and, a deflected pass which led to the Adrian Phillips interception.

The pressure Butler put on Murray was important in not allowing Arizona to become settled in their passing game. I’m a big fan of Butler, hope he continues to take strides and stay healthy.
