Patriots still looking for answers on offense after big win November ****** FOXBOROUGH, Ma s. (AP) In the postgame locker room euphoria of the Patriots' on Sunday, references to Marcus Jones ****** yard punt return touchdown gallop echoed throughout. Just keep running home, bro! receiver Nelson Agholor shouted in Jones direction. Dont even drive just run!But on a day in which New Englands special teams shined, and the defenses dominance underlined its steady improvement throughout the season, it also highlighted just how far the offense is behind as the Patriots prepare to make their playoff push.Since quarterback Mac Jones returned from a three-game absence from an ankle sprain, he has Mark Barberio Women Jersey led the offense on just two touchdown drives, compared to ****** field goals.He was efficient against the Jets on Sunday, completing ****** of ****** pa ses for ****** yards and a ****** .6 pa ser rating. But the Patriots came up empty on both of their red zone opportunities.For the season New Englands red zone efficiency rate is now just 42.9%, ranking 31st in the NFL entering Monday. The Patriots have converted on just ****** of ****** opportunities through ****** games.As good as the defense is playing this season, it will need the offense to do a better job of finishing drives down the stretch with matchups against some of the leagues highest-scoring teams in the Bills ****** .1 points per game), Bengals ****** .5 ppg) and Dolphins ****** .2 ppg) still on deck.Thats not lost on Mac Jones, who acknowledged that ending with TDs will be the biggest point of emphasis going forward.I think its super disappointing, he said. We put too much work in to get that result. I think it starts with us, the execution part, and then obviously trying to figure something out here.WHATS WORKINGOne of the most understated parts of the Patriots' succe s on defense has been how well Jonathan Jones has thrived in his new role as outside cornerback. Jones spent most of the first six seasons in New England in the slot, but switched during training camp after J.C. Jacksons offseason departure in free agency. The move has allowed the Patriots to get by with smaller Sergei Bobrovsky Women Jersey players such as 5-foot-9 Myles Bryant in the slot and force teams to pick their poison against Jones or Jalen Mills on the outside. WHAT NEEDS HELPA game-time wind chill in the mid-20s could have certainly played a role. But something was ami s Marc-André Fleury Jersey in the kicking game on Sunday. Nick Folk had mi ses from ****** and ****** yards, his first time misfiring on multiple field goals in a game this season. The likely culprit is that he was working with a new holder, with Michael Palardy a suming the holding and punting duties with Jake Bailey on injured reserve with a back i sue. The good news is Palardy punted well, averaging 45.3 yards on seven kicks. But with Bailey sidelined for at least the next three games, Palardys holds must get better in a hurry. STOCK UPMatt Judon. Another game, and another big performance by the linebacker who is making his second year in New England even better than his first. He had ****** /2 sacks Sunday, pushing his season total to a career-high 13, topping his ****** /2 from ****** . STOCK DOWNYodny Cajuste. The Patriots utility man on the offensive line, he made a surprise start at right tackle, in place of a healthy Trent Brown. Cajuste he had i sues throughout the game, allowing Quinnen Williams and John Franklin-Myers to get through for a sack on Mac Jones on the first play of the game. He then allowed Williams to get to Jones again in the second quarter. INJURIESThe O-line will have to figure things out with several players dealing with injuries. Center David Andrews played in his first game since returning from a concu sion but left late in the first quarter with a thigh injury. Isaiah Wynn, who started in Browns normal left tackle spot, also left with a foot injury. KEY NUMBER16.9 The points per game allowed this season by the Patriots defense this season through ****** games. It is the second fewest in the NFL behind only Dallas at 16.2.NEXT STEPSThe Patriots face their shortest turnaround of Matt Nieto Jersey the season as they prepare to visit Minnesota on Thanksgiving. Its part of a stretch that will see them play three games over ****** days. ___AP NFL: hub/nfl and AP_NFL in this topic New England Patriots National Football League David Andrews J.C.
