Patriots: Patriots Thankful for Last Two Drafts
The New England Patriots are 7-4 and first place in the AFC East as we head into Thanksgiving. With each passing week, the team looks closer and closer to a true Super Bowl contender. With the toughest stretch of the season coming up, the Patriots and their fans have a lot to be thankful for. At the top of that list should be New England’s last two draft classes, which…
Patriots: Was this a bounce back weekend for Bill Belichick?
