Scott Zolak Said What Everyone Thought Amid Patriots’ Fast Start
Safe to say nobody expected the Patriots to start their game against the Bills like they did.
New England, one week after they went 0-for-6 on third down against the Cardinals, converted each of its first four third-down tries. The Patriots compiled 141 yards of offense on their first two drives and took a stunning 14-0 lead in Buffalo just 15:44 into the contest.
Scott Zolak said exactly what everyone was thinking after Rhamondre Stevenson’s 14-yard touchdown run.
“Who is this team?!” Zolak exclaimed on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s broadcast. “Who are they?! This is an ass-kicking in progress.”
New England’s six-play, 58-yard drive was highlighted by a touchdown pass from Drake Maye to Kayshon Boutte. Stevenson’s run capped a 16-play, 91-yard possession thereafter.
It didn’t take long for Josh Allen and the Bills to respond, to no surprise. Buffalo cut the Patriots advantage to 14-7 on its ensuing drive, but it nevertheless was an eye-popping start for the New England offense.
