First time since Sept. 29 that the opponent has scored first against the Patriots.
by Michael Whitmer via twitter 11/23/2014 6:11:21 PM
Vereen the starting TB, it appears.
by New England Patriots via twitter 11/23/2014 6:11:21 PM
Thanks to a big pass break up by Revis, the Lions settle for a field goal & lead it 3-0 at @GilletteStadium . #DETvsNE

Patriots open in a 2TE set, Vereen gets the start.

Shane Vereen starting at RB
by Erik Frenz via twitter 11/23/2014 6:14:12 PM
Bad decision, worse throw by Brady to Amendola into double coverage.
by Ben Volin via twitter 11/23/2014 6:14:25 PM
Penalty on Vollmer for hands to the face kills the #Patriots first drive. First time since KC that Pats didn't score first
Toronto patsfan 11/23/2014 6:15:02 PM
Lousy punt too
Freeman 11/23/2014 6:15:08 PM
We are off to a shaky start, gotta pick it up
by Jeff Pini via twitter 11/23/2014 6:15:17 PM
Vollmer penalty wipes out a first down for the #Patriots ; after incompletion they're forced to punt.
by Ben Volin via twitter 11/23/2014 6:15:32 PM
Certainly didn't seem worth 10 yards RT @14martinc : @BenVolin it was a bulls*** call.

Brady made #NFL debut 14 yrs ago today. And Peyton Manning was already crying about the scoreboard operator #DETvsNE https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B3JUIPFCIAEU1ot.jpg

Duron Harmon getting some run over Patrick Chung early in the game. Harmon much better in coverage
by Ben Volin via twitter 11/23/2014 6:18:28 PM
#Patriots going with the 3 CB, 3 S Dime package on third down. Big sack for Akeem Ayers to force a punt
by Erik Frenz via twitter 11/23/2014 6:18:35 PM
Akeem Ayers has been such a key addition for the #Patriots , given both Chandler Jones' injury and their overall lack of pass-rushing talent.
by New England Patriots via twitter 11/23/2014 6:18:44 PM
Akeem Ayers with his 3rd sack of the season. #DETvsNE
by Jeff Pini via twitter 11/23/2014 6:18:46 PM
Ayers with a big sack. #Patriots force three-and-out after Lions got the ball at their own 45.
Toronto patsfan 11/23/2014 6:18:52 PM
Ayers a great pickup
by OBF, Boston.com via twitter 11/23/2014 6:19:11 PM
Call 911. Matthew Stafford was just mugged by Akeem Ayers in Foxborough. #NFL #DetVsNE
by Ben Volin via twitter 11/23/2014 6:19:23 PM
Vereen, Wright back out for second series. #Patriots are gonna try to spread out the #Lions all day
Toronto patsfan 11/23/2014 6:19:43 PM
Not the smartest "non-fair" catch by amendola
by Michael Whitmer via twitter 11/23/2014 6:19:56 PM
Vereen in to start 2nd series.
Freeman 11/23/2014 6:21:51 PM
Our o line having issues already it appears
Toronto patsfan 11/23/2014 6:22:09 PM
Pats look like they are looking to gb. Better settle down
by Erik Frenz via twitter 11/23/2014 6:22:22 PM
You might want to block that Ndamukong Suh guy.
by Ben Volin via twitter 11/23/2014 6:22:28 PM
Rough start for the #Patriots . Keep getting behind the chains. Suh destroyed Brady on a third down screen
by Erik Frenz via twitter 11/23/2014 6:22:41 PM
Talk about flipping the field...
Toronto patsfan 11/23/2014 6:23:18 PM
Big play by allen
by Jeremy Gottlieb via twitter 11/23/2014 6:23:25 PM
Pats are flat on offense. Gotta wake up.
by Michael Whitmer via twitter 11/23/2014 6:23:25 PM
Ryan Allen scoops up the grounder by Aiken, booms that punt 66 yards. That's 1 yard off his career long.
FanSinceThe60s 11/23/2014 6:23:51 PM
No need to worry about that Suh guy. He's got no game.
by Ben Volin via twitter 11/23/2014 6:23:56 PM
Don't think that was a missed block on Suh. On screen passes, OL is supposed to let the DL through. Suh just got there really, really fast
by OBF, Boston.com via twitter 11/23/2014 6:24:15 PM
Dan Connolly might want to try blocking Suh instead of just patting him on back on way to crushing Brady. Nice punt, tho. #DETvsNE #NFL
by Erik Frenz via twitter 11/23/2014 6:24:40 PM
That earlier drop by Rob Gronkowski was only his fifth of the year, by the way, on 78 targets.
Toronto patsfan 11/23/2014 6:25:30 PM
Defense looks great!
by OBF, Boston.com via twitter 11/23/2014 6:25:45 PM
Did the Lions pick up a Tuba player this week? #AnotherSack #DETvsNE
by New England Patriots via twitter 11/23/2014 6:25:49 PM
Rob Ninkovich comes up with the Patriots' 2nd sack of the game. #Defense #DETvsNE
by shalise manza young via twitter 11/23/2014 6:25:53 PM
omg, broadcast delay is brutal. they're still in commercial while Ninko getting a sack
by Erik Frenz via twitter 11/23/2014 6:26:06 PM
Alan Branch blew up that gap in a hurry.
by Ben Volin via twitter 11/23/2014 6:27:15 PM
Edelman back to return this punt after Amendola made a very risky play last time not calling for the fair catch in traffic
North fan 11/23/2014 6:27:26 PM
Great d for both sides. On O, Brady is the only one who seems to be playing.
Toronto patsfan 11/23/2014 6:27:27 PM
Pats mid season pickups doing great. Time for offense to get untracked
by Ben Volin via twitter 11/23/2014 6:27:34 PM
LeGarrette Blount Alarm
by Erik Frenz via twitter 11/23/2014 6:27:48 PM
LeGarrette Blount will get his first snap of the year for the #Patriots .
by Michael Whitmer via twitter 11/23/2014 6:27:54 PM
Blount has checked into the game.
