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.

First reported by Field Yates, the Patriots have placed Rex Burkhead, Isaiah Wynn, and Carl Davis on IR.

After all but confirming his season was over this past week on social media, Burkhead’s movement to the reserve list isn’t surprising, Nor is Wynn’s, he also picked up a knock also in last Sunday’s game.

With Tom Brady serving the first of his four-game suspension for his role in “Deflategate”, Jimmy Garoppolo started in his place.

It didn’t take long for him to get off to the perfect start, on the Patriots first drive, Garoppolo saw Chris Hogan open deep and found him for a 37-yard touchdown.

Should the Patriots keep Cam Newton around in 2021?

The simple answer is no.

After nine starts, the former MVP has proven to not be the savior in New England. The expectations of Newton were through the roof once the former Carolina Panthers quarterback signed in New England. Many expected him to be in the conversation for the Comeback Player of the Year award, and have the Patriots in charge of the AFC East. But, that just has not been the case… at least to this point.

Patriots vs Texans – Player Ups & Downs

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

Any playoff hopes the Patriots had are now all but faded after a disappointing loss to Houston yesterday. Here are the ups and downs from Week 11.

Ups ⬆️

Damiere Byrd

After the spotlight was focused on Jakobi Meyers during the past few weeks, Damiere Byrd has flown under the radar, but yesterday, he had a big day! 6/7, 132 yards, and a touchdown for Byrd as he led the passing attack, it was one of the few highlights from an otherwise disappointing day.

Happy to see both Byrd and Meyers having some big games in recent weeks, given they could be part of this offense moving into next season..
