The New England Patriots' 23-21 Week One win Sunday night over the Arizona Cardinals was impactful for some reasons. But, with the development the Cardinals organization has undergone these past few years, the time of looking at small positives is likely long gone.

The Cardinals rallied from a 10-0 first-quarter deficit and eventually took the lead with 9 minutes, 46 seconds left to play when Carson Palmer threw a 1-yard fade pass to Larry Fitzgerald in the corner of the end zone.

The miss came after Garoppolo, in his first National Football League start, directed the Patriots from their own 19 to the Arizona 15 to set up Stephen Gostkowski's 23-yard field goal for what proved to be the victor with 3:44 to play. "I'll make the next one".

The Patriots, also without injured tight end Rob Gronkowski, ran the ball almost half the time - they threw 65 percent of the time last season - but in many ways, this offense didn't look much different with Garoppolo at the helm. "You're angry, disappointed, embarrassed, and that's the way we should all feel", Keim said while speaking on Sports 98.7 FM in Phoenix.

Bilichick said that he made some good plays though not ideal, he made a lot of good plays. "The sky is failing Monday, that's the feeling we should all have".

Minnesota's defense accounted for two touchdowns in a 25-16 win against Tennessee, allowing the Vikings to win their season opener under quarterback Shaun Hill. As a team, the Patriots functioned very well. And that needs to improve. "He handled the ball very well, made some tough catches and made a lot of yards in space when we got him that opportunity".

Trump Breaks With His Party To Propose 6 Weeks Paid Maternity Leave
It's time for a meaningful debate on paid family leave, and our leaders in Washington are now in the spotlight to solve it. Trump said this is something his daughter Ivanka, herself a new mother, has been begging him to do for a long time.

"This is awesome. I don't even have words to express what this probably means to the whole team", said Hogan, who made his Patriots debut.

"We should have won the game".

Asked how first-round draft pick Robert Nkemdiche played, Arians said, "poor". For us to go in there and get a win like that, it was great for obviously our offensive football team, the defense played great, special teams; it's such a team sport. Butler mishandled it initially, but recovered well to get the ball down for Catanzaro, but the timing was off by a split-second and the kick sailed left. You get to watch so many different angles and replays and you don't get those things when you're playing.

Keim failed to see any positives that could be gleaned from the loss.

Next week the Cardinals take on the Tampa Buccaneers and their young star quarterback Jameis Winston, so things will only be getting harder.

Add this to the evidence provided during the 2008 season, when Brady got hurt in the first game and Belichick guided the team to a winning season with a merely-adequate backup, and let's face it, Brady is terrific, but Belichick is the man. Meanwhile, more than 30 percent of those who play in survivor pools breathed a huge sigh of relief when Russell Wilson led the Seahawks on a late touchdown drive for a come-from-behind 12-10 victory over Miami.
