Brandon Bolden isn’t playing this season, but the veteran running back clearly is keeping close tabs on the Patriots.
Bolden, who opted out of the 2020 campaign over COVID-19 concerns, served as a spectator Monday night as New England halted its losing streak at four. The Patriots erased the New York Jets’ 10-point second-half lead and ultimately downed their AFC East rival via a game-winning field goal from Nick Folk as time expired.
As a longtime special teams standout, it’s easy to understand why Bolden was particularly fired up about how New England secured its Week 9 victory.
The Patriots now sit at 3-5 on the season following their win over the Jets. Notching back-to-back victories for the first time in 2020 will be a tall task, as New England on Sunday night will host the Baltimore Ravens.
