“Huge game between 2 alleged powerhouse. Both teams are in the group of the highest TW teams, and both are favored to win their divisions. Fans feedback suggested early sellout, which was confirmed by 14 premium guests in the stadium's VIP-est section at some point!

The game had a playoff feel, as both teams started the season with a win (unusual for Patriots, more on that later, and the winner would start with 4 points after Strength of Schedule games, all between division winners. Also, these teams could easily meet in the playoffs (again), and the winner here has tiebreakers that could matter in the race for the playoff bye.

Now lets talk about Patriots, who never started a season with 2 wins since the length of regular season is 16 games long. They usually start slow, around 50%, then warming up.

The Foxes started hot before, but this would have a different feel with a Wreckage-less Universe in their division.

The game started with a brawl, escalating in a big mess around the LOS. This theme continued throughout. Foxes marked Patriots players agressively in order to work towards the sack on the Boss. Their attempts paid some dividents, but also some costs. They had some semi-good sacking attempts, one successful and one failed, on the other hand gave away a significant number of blocks.

This was a big game for Khalil Mack, who made 3 CAS, and a couple of KOs. Winston and Youngblood were not that good, although the former KOd the latter at the end of the 1st half, and the latter KOd Clifton and Mack at some point of the game. The biggest hit was on Hightower, not to mistake the one that played for Pats, this came from Eagles, and it killed him immediately. Mack had another kill at the end of the game. The Foxes tried also hard, almost maiming Clifton (apo helped), and killing Piwo---.. This was the last game of the beer-polish, who used to play for Sharks. He is now a dead champion. He is replaced by Lawrence Milloy, a rookie, who is eager to prove his worth soon, or die trying.

The game ended in a typical 2-1 fashion for Patriots as Foxes did not risk a stall, not having a killer, and contact ramping up on them.

Pats are eagerly waiting for round3 fixtures, and seem to be in control so far. Can they maintain? Will the injury bug hit them hard? Only one way to find out. Follow DLE games! On to...whoever is the round3 opponent!”
