Patriots Vs. Cardinals Keys: New England’s Defense Must Stop David Johnson

Football finally is back, and the New England Patriots face a tough test in Week 1.

The Patriots will play the Cardinals in Arizona on Sunday night in their first of four games without Tom Brady (Deflategate suspension), and they likely will need a big effort on defense against running back David Johnson and the Cardinals’ talented wide receivers.

NESN.com Patriots insider Doug Kyed gave his three keys for New England on Thursday’s “NESN Live,” presented by Cross Insurance, and you can see what they were in the video above.
