Week 10 Pros & Cons: Patriots 28 Buccaneers 23

Pros

Big road win against a good team. Enjoy it however it happens.
Patriots officially no longer have a WR problem. Hollins went over 100; production is coming from every WR on the active roster.
O-line allowed only 1 sack against a swarming Todd Bowles defense—much improved.
Running game wasn’t consistently good, but Henderson had two huge TD runs that can build confidence.
Defensive win: bend but don’t break. Gibbens and Spillane tackled great; Woodson made a huge hit; and we got to Mayfield when it mattered.
Bucs were getting away with a lot (offsides/holding) and the Pats won anyway.

Three defensive issues: (1) giving up a TD on the opening drive, (2) pass rush has fallen off, (3) struggling to contain the opponent’s best receiver (Egbuka shredded us).
Maye had happy feet at times and the late INT nearly let the Bucs back in. Needs better risk management.
