5 questions with Patriots Wire

Jordy McElroy: The Patriots aren’t as anemic of a passing offense as some might think, especially if they’re able to lean on the play-action pass. But as you eloquently pointed out, the Colts have a legitimate run-stuffing defense. Can the Patriots run the ball effectively enough to even be able to work out of the play-action pass?

Your guess is as good as mine.

But Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is a threat as a pass-catcher and somewhat of a newfound safety blanket for Jones. Outside of Jakobi Meyers, no one really stands out as a playmaker for the Patriots at receiver. But make no mistake, they do have a lot of good players at the position with rookie Tyquan Thornton, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne (DeVante Parker is out with an injury). We’ll see if “good” is good enough against an underrated Colts defense.
