In Foxborough, Massachusetts, the New England Patriots kicked off a new chapter in their football history this afternoon. Under the leadership of head coach Jerod Mayo, the Patriots secured a 16-10 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals in a tightly contested match. This game was particularly special for Jacoby Brissett, who made his debut as the team’s starting quarterback.
Brissett had a solid performance, finishing the game with 15 completions out of 24 attempts, totaling 121 passing yards. While he didn’t throw any touchdowns or interceptions, Brissett did add some mobility, rushing for 32 yards on seven carries.
The standout player of the game, however, was Rhamondre Stevenson. With a dominant showing on the ground, Stevenson amassed 120 rushing yards and scored one touchdown on 25 carries, averaging a commendable 4.8 yards per carry.
On the defensive side, the Patriots put up an impressive wall against Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Burrow managed to throw for only 164 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions. The Cincinnati offense struggled throughout the game, unable to find any rhythm. A key defensive contributor was Keon White, who racked up 2.5 sacks.
While the game was not without its challenges, securing the win adds a positive note to the Patriots’ 2024 season as they start off 1-0. Looking ahead, New England will host the Seattle Seahawks in their home opener next week. Despite the odds being against them, the Patriots are ready to make a statement this season, showing that they are not to be taken lightly. This win is a confidence booster, and fans are eager to see if the team can gear up for another upset, aiming to improve to 2-0 next week.
