4. Patriots get push from middle of defense: It was almost shocking to see Tommy Kelly get after the passer so quickly up the middle of the defense. those kind of plays did not exist last season with Kyle Love and Brandon Deaderick clogging up the middle of the defense.

The numbers may look pedestrian in the box score (just 23 yards), but Thompkins looked comfortable in his understanding of the offense, won at the line of scrimmage, and made grabs in competitive situations. There was one snap during which Thompkins redirected Boyce to the proper alignment after Boyce broke the huddle and went to the wrong side of the formation. Seems like he’s catching on fast.

Injury updates. Outside of Mallett, the Patriots’ second-string quarterback who left late in the second quarter with a head injury and didn’t return, there were no major injuries for the Patriots. Mallett watched the rest of the second half from the sideline.
