So, how will that affect the Patriots’ plans for the rest of 2017?

NESN.com’s Doug Kyed, Zack Cox and Michaela Vernava discussed just that on this week’s “Between The Tackles” podcast. They also broke down their midseason awards and superlatives and discussed the Patriots’ upcoming matchup with the Denver Broncos.
