"I feel like it's good", Bennett said of how his first year in New England has played out. The Bengals had a lot of success in the first half, pressuring him quite a bit and sacking him twice. The Patriots tight end said he didn't say anything - he was just bobbing his head. One could certainly say so, I would but I'm biased, and make a compelling argument out of it. He also caught two passes or 20 yards.

Brady went on to suggest that the best course of action against teams like Cincinnati is to live to fight your battles later, while prioritizing the ultimate payback: winning on the scoreboard.

"What's special about that is we got the win", he said. He added: "It's cool that I got a career high and everything but most important to me is getting that win". It's no coincidence that Brady started playing at his best on Sunday once the Bengals' defense eased up on the pressure. With teams trying to clamp down on A.J. Green, the Bengals need another consistent threat at receiver.

As the first half came and went, Rowe knew there was a chance that things could change in the game.

How rare is what New England Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower accomplished over the last two weeks by forcing and creating safeties in back-to-back games?

But the second half was a different story, and the New England offense made mincemeat of the Bengals defense as Brady completed pass after pass to Gronkowski, Bennett and James White.

"Things get a little heated", Gronkowski said of the penalty, which came after a 12-yard catch over the middle with 8:14 remaining in the fourth quarter of the 35-17 win. He also said he tries not to make headlines.

"We've got to start maximizing those possessions", said coach Marvin Lewis. Obviously, we had the lead. We're doing a lot of things right, and doing things good, and correct. He kept rolling on Sunday, catching seven passes for a career-high 162 yards, and one touchdown. Over the first two games of the season, Gronk averaged 5.5 receiving yards per game, and since Brady's return, he's averaging 135.5 receiving yards game. "But six to seven plays can get beaten, those (big) plays end up going for 200 yards likely and end up making three touchdowns". Later in the game, Rob Gronkowski would be flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after getting into a heated exchange with a flurry of Bengals. "They're big, and they hit hard".

"It was good to get him home", Edelman said. "He's a good player, and he had some big plays for us today; no question". Cincinnati does employ many nickel base sets, but they might not be giving as many diverse looks to opposing offenses as other squads. He was able to connect with Gronkowski for two long passes that ended up being game changers for the Patriots. "You're not going to win because you're emotional, but I think having your attitude right mentally and physically, that allows you to be at your best". That gave Cincinnati the lead back, 14-10.

It appears Ben Roethlisberger will not play Sunday when his Pittsburgh Steelers host the New England Patriots at Heinz Field. The team will adjust its normal workout on Friday and Saturday so the players can recover from the flight. The primary reason would have to of been that it was Tom Brady's first game back at Gillette Stadium after his Deflategate suspension. Buffalo is always a tough place to play and with home field on their side for the rematch, Brady will likely have his work cut out for him when he battles them for the first time this season.

Wil Lutz kicked a 52-yard field goal with 11 seconds left and quarterback Drew Brees riddled a young Carolina secondary for 465 yards and four touchdowns to power the New Orleans Saints to a 41-38 victory over the Panthers. This season, they have yet to score 24 in any game.
