BSJ Daily Briefing: 10.23.17: Pats take care of business in fog bowl

Oct 23, 2017 • 8:32 am

Three straight wins for the Patriots now after the Falcons' offense elected to take the night off in Foxboro on Sunday evening. Incredibly, the Pats only have a half-game edge over the Dolphins and Bills for the division lead as the AFC East (shockingly) remains the most competitive division in football after Week 7. Pretty sure Greg Bedard and Chris Price walked out of Gillette Stadium as the sun came up this morning so be sure to check out their wall-to-wall coverage below of the 23-7 Pats' win.

We also had the official hiring of Alex Cora for the Red Sox which Sean McAdam has been on top of for the last few weeks. He gave his two cents on the new Sox top dog who won't be introduced at a press conference until the Astros' World Series run is over.
