Patriots 3-21 Lions 11:51, 3rd quarter
DeVito goes deep to the right sideline to Kyle Williams but the ball is a little overthrown and the wide receiver can’t hold on. Punt on the way.
Patriots 3-21 Lions 12:21, 3rd quarter
The Pats defense has done their job with a quick three and out. DeVito went 4/19 for 16 yards and an interception before the break. New England dutifully run the ball a couple of times with little success. DeVito gets the call, drops back, completes the pass but a false start puts them back to 3rd & 11. D’oh.
Patriots 3-21 Lions 15:00, 3rd quarter
The players are back out on the field with the Lions taking over on offense.
Jahmyr Gibbs had a monster first half recording 171 yards of total offense, the most of any Detroit player in a half since Barry Sanders 32 years ago. Decent company to keep.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye injured his right ankle on a sack by Aidan Hutchinson in the first quarter and won’t return to the game.
Hutchinson sacked Maye on third down at the Detroit 15-yard line on New England’s first drive. Andy Borregales then kicked a 33-yard field goal. Since then the Patriots have failed to score a point.
Hutchinson himself grabbed his right knee after jumping and landing while celebrating. He went to the locker room for evaluation.
Guten tag , football fans! Week 10 is in full swing in Münich with the final international game of the season pitting the (6-2) Detroit Lions against the (5-4) New England Patriots. It is a bit of a one-sided affair thus far as Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has exited the game with an ankle injury putting Tommy DeVito under center for Mike Vrabel’s team.
The Lions lead 21-3 and have had some struggles on offense with Jared Goff throwing two interceptions but Jahmyr Gibbs has run one touchdown in while Amon-Ra St Brown and Isaac TeSlaa have caught one each. Wünderbar!
Let’s see if the Patriots can bounce back in the second half.
