Key events
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.
Preamble
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.
