Nice to see Trevor Scott having a good game yesterday, stepping up when the Patriots needed him. I was really high on Scott coming into the season because of his versatility, and thought the Pats were getting him at the right time just coming off a full year recovery from an ACL injury.
Due to the emergence of Chandler Jones they haven’t really needed Scott that much but the quality snaps he’s getting now could be a long term benefit, especially in sub packages once Jones comes back.
[H]aving veteran Trevor Scott allowed them to incorporate some new defensive wrinkles. Specifically, Scott was used as a man-to-man coverage player on a tight end, as he checked tight end Anthony Fasano on the second play of the Dolphins’ second drive. Scott showed like he was going to rush before walking over Fasano for the man-to-man assignment. The Patriots may have used Scott in this way both because of his good reactive athleticism and instincts, and also because Fasano is just an average athlete for his position. Nonetheless, Scott made his mark early and often in his first start as a Patriot, finishing with two critical sacks on the day.
Patrick Chung’s fall down the depth chart stands out. His eight snaps came on the final three drives of the game, as rookie Tavon Wilson was playing in the dime package over him earlier in the game. The Patriots appear to have settled on a Devin McCourty/Steve Gregory safety pairing. Also, there is more stability at cornerback, with Aqib Talib and Alfonzo Dennard going wire to wire, with Kyle Arrington coming on in the nickel.
What is the three way tie breaker that lets the Pats have the second seed going into this week? Because we lost to the Ravens head to head shouldn’t they be in control of the second seed?
Right now it’s technically a three way tie with the Ravens, Pats and Broncos so the instead of head to head the tie breaker goes to conference record. The Patriots are 8-1 in conference, the Ravens are 8-2 and the Broncos are 6-2.
Pats fans should be rooting for the Broncos in two weeks against the Ravens.

It’s a situation, the four-minute offense, in which running the clock and putting points on the board would give the Patriots a two-score lead and put the game away. It’s a situation in which they have been successful just five times in 18 chances since the start of the 2010 season. They had been 0 for 6 this season with the return of offense coordinator Josh McDaniels. Failures led to losses against the Cardinals, Ravens, and Seahawks. The defense had to bail out the offense against the Broncos, Jets, and Bills (a successful drive that yielded a field goal when a touchdown would have made it a two-score lead). This time, the result was different.
