Patriots need to bring road success back home
FOXBOROUGH – A few weeks ago, there was quite a bit of talk about bad the Patriots had been at home in recent years.

They average 13.8 points per game and only 3.9 yards per play. The defense should play well today. Offensively, it will be about handling Jeffrey Simmons up front and attacking a secondary that like the Saints last week, gives up a lot of big plays. Getting the…
