New England Nation OT: Breaking Down the Patriots' Bounce-Back Win over the Panthers

The Patriots executed a strong game plan against a depleted Panthers team, scoring 42 points with perfect red-zone efficiency, Patriots officials said.

  • At Gillette Stadium on Sunday, the Patriots defeated Carolina 42-13 after scoring 42 unanswered points before Carolina scored late.
  • Facing backups, Carolina Panthers played with third-string wide receivers and backup offensive linemen, allowing New England Patriots to use single-high coverages and a 38.1% play-action rate.
  • Quarterback play featured Drake Maye completing 4-of-4 for 41 yards behind the line, with an 87.5% accurate throw percentage and a 155.7 passer rating.
  • The victory gives the Patriots their first home win this season under Mike Vrabel, building momentum before their Week 5 Sunday Night Football matchup against the undefeated Buffalo Bills.
  • Special teams swung momentum as Marcus Jones returned an 87-yard punt for a touchdown and a 61-yard return set up another score, while the Patriots generated a 36.8% defensive pressure rate and went 4-of-4 in the red zone.
