The power fuels Patriots in victory – Patriots – Boston.com
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.
