Just when everybody in the NFL thought that they were finally safe from the New England Patriots, it seems like Bill Belichick had other plans. His team is once again at the top of the AFC East and looks like a huge contender right now.
Mac Jones and the Patriots are now winners of five games in a row. They started off the year 2-4 but their physical and disciplined defense has made them a legit threat to make the Super Bowl again.
Thatâs why the Tennessee Titans will have a tough time bouncing back from their dud against the Houston Texans. Nonetheless, Belichick doesnât expect Mike Vrabelâs team to be so sloppy and careless with the football two weeks in a row.
Patriots News: Bill Belichick Doesnât Expect The Titans To Be Sloppy Against Them
âThey turned the ball over against the Texans, so thatâs hard to count on,â Belichick told the media, as quoted byJosh Alper of NBC Sports. âThatâs not what they do. I donât think weâll get that. Theyâre a tough, physical team. The backs run hard. They have a very experienced line. . . . Theyâre tough. Theyâre physical. They make you beat them. They donât make many mistakes. They know what theyâre doing. Theyâre sound. Theyâre a good, fundamental team. They tackle well. The backs and receivers run hard with the ball. The quarterback is athletic. Sound in the kicking game. Weâre going to have to play a good football game in all three phases.â
Ryan Tannehill looked like the player he was under Adam Gase, and thatâs not great news for the Titans, especially considering they will face a Patriots team that dominated him when he played for the Dolphins.
The Titans have excelled against top-notch competition but they seem to struggle to keep up against bottom feeders. Now, the two best teams in the AFC will go to battle for the top spot in the conference.
