Personnel-wise, the key adjustment was inserting Hoomanawanui into the game for Gronkowski, and surprising Shane Vereen – who had a career day with three touchdowns – at running back for Woodhead. It wasn’t like the Patriots suddenly altered their personnel groupings; of the 59 snaps they ran after Gronkowski’s injury, 50 of them came with Hoomanawanui on the field in place of Gronkowski.
