Mal día para los Patriots

Los patriotas abrieron en casa este domingo ante los Cardenales. Stephen Gostkowki hizo un gol de campo de 42 yardas que fue bloqueado. Es la primera derrota en una apertura en casa en el Gillete Stadium desde el año 2002. .

El TE de los Patriots de Nueva Inglaterra Aaron Hernandez sufrio una lesión en el hombro derecho y necesito ayuda para salir del terreno de juego. Los reportes dicen que no se rompió el hombro.

Edelman over Welker: In a surprise, receiver Wes Welker was utilized as the No. 3 receiver, playing behind Julian Edelman in the majority of the team’s two-WR sets. Edelman started the game over Welker. This adds another layer to a storyline that was followed closely after the season opener, when Welker’s playing time (42 of 67 snaps versus Tennessee) was scaled back compared to his 2011 workload (89.2 percent of the snaps). Had Hernandez not been knocked out with an injured ankle in the first quarter, forcing the Patriots into their three-WR package, it could have affected Welker’s playing time more. Including penalties and a two-point conversion, Edelman was on for 75 snaps against the Cardinals, while Welker was on for 63.

Blocked punt a key play: In the days leading up to this game, Bill Belichick stressed the Cardinals’ ability to make game-changing plays on special teams, and his concern in this area proved to be well-founded. Quentin Groves’ blocked punt in the third quarter — he overpowered rookie Nate Ebner on the play — went out of bounds at the Patriots’ 2-yard line. Three plays later, the Cardinals were in for a touchdown that gave them a 13-9 lead and control of most of the second half.

What’s next: The Patriots visit the Ravens next Sunday (NBC, 8:20 p.m.) in a matchup of two teams that many analysts projected as two of the AFC’s elite. The Patriots, to the surprise of many, enter the game with a loss.
