Breakdown tease: Charts, 3 up/down vs. Raiders taken at BSJ Headquarters (Patriots)

(Kirby Lee/USA TODAY Sports)

My full breakdown will be published tonight/tomorrow morning, but before I went on Felger & Mazz Tuesday afternoon, I wanted to give BSJ members a sneak peek at the information I'll be sharing on there.

Pressure charts





THREE UP

Jonathan Jones: The best performance by a Patriots' cornerback this season. He was all over the field with tight coverage and physical play. Had two third-down passes defensed, was in coverage on the interception, made the tackle on the fumble and had a hurry. In all, I had him for seven "plus" plays — which is a ton for a cornerback — and zero minus plays.

Dion Lewis: Had him for nine broken tackles, which is a single-game record since I've been tabulating Patriots' stats (going back to 2009). He could have run one screen better, but other than that, he was flawless.

Tom Brady: Had him for 10 plus plays, and only two minus plays — and they were very minor. He didn't see a wide-open Danny Amendola on a deep incomplete pass to Brandin Cooks on third down, and had one poor throw to Rex Burkhead. Other than that, sensational. Best game of the season.

Honorable mention: Stephen Gostkowski, Ted Karras, Dwayne Allen, Trey Flowers, Deatrich Wise, Elandon Roberts, Kyle Van Noy, Brandin Cooks, Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola.

THREE DOWN

Cassius Marsh: Played two snaps, gave up the edge on a 25-yard run and went back to the bench.

Cam Fleming: Another week with few snaps (10) and little production (half sack allowed).

Rex Burkhead: Had a fumble and a drop. Not his week.

Dishonorable mention: Martellus Bennett (tackle for a loss), Malcolm Butler (missed tackle, touchdown), David Harris (gap on 25-yard run, missed tackle).
