Pats Recap – Statement Win Silences Critics, World Not Actually Ending

It was touch and go for a while there but we're back in business now baby!

The Patriots pulled a complete 180 from last week and dominated the Bengals with a convincing 43-17 victory last night silencing critics, and gently coaxing all of New England off their collective ledges.

You knew the Bengals were in for a tough night when Tom Brady and Julian Edelman played hot potato with the football. You spike it! No you spike it!

I have to admit I was a bit scared after last week's debacle and this was hopefully the spark the team needed.

'We're on to Buffalo' next week for a battle to decide the top spot in the AFC East. I like our chances. Do you?
