From the Sin City Stunner to a miscommunication that led to a blocked punt to a late-game defensive breakdown, most of the Patriots-Raiders takeaways aren't positive. But not all:
Henry had a drop in this one, and Smith was flagged for a false start near the goal line. Four catches for 33 yards from this position, against a team that struggled to cover tight ends and defend the middle of the field all season ? Rough.Conor McDermott and Cole Strange both picked up penalties, and both McDermott and Trent Brown allowed a pair of pressures.
Meanwhile, the Patriots ran for 7.1 yards per carry against a competent rush defense. One of their best games of the season. Unfortunate for the Patriots that they couldn't capitalize on it.. While the officials reset the play-clock late, leading to confusion, it appeared as though there was time enough for the reset to get communicated to long-snapper Joe Cardona. If not, blockers have to be prepared for the ball to be snapped. Otherwise, you're courting disaster.
The Patriots got a 54-yard field goal from Nick Folk and two punts inside the 20 from Michael Palardy, but there wasn't enough from this third phase to elevate this grade a letter. Lawrence Guy and Davon Godchaux split a sack. Deatrich Wise sniffed out a misdirection play in the flat. Christian Barmore got in on a sack and Daniel Ekuale made an impact as a rusher against a banged-up interior of the Raiders' offensive line.
The defensive line group helped free up Patriots linebackers to do some of the damage they did. Ja'Whaun Bentley had an eye-opening game with 10 tackles to go along with four pressures and a sack. Josh Uche, coming from his spot at outside linebacker, stayed hot with five pressures and a sack of his own.
was quiet in this one, seeing about 20 percent of his snaps in coverage. Had he been even a little more impactful, this grade would've bumped into the"A" range.Kyle Dugger's read, break and catch that resulted in a pick-six was one of the bright spots in what was ultimately a devastating day for the Patriots. He also made an impact in the running game, as he does on an almost weekly basis.
