FINAL: Patriots 10, Panthers 3 - Defense dominates while offense grinds it on ground taken at Gillette Stadium (Patriots)

(Adam Richins for BSJ)

The game goes final and it went very well for the Patriots, especially on the defensive side of the ball where the starting unit dominated.

Brian Hoyer didn't play at all, and Jarrett Stidham was a bit up and down.

Ton of injuries that will be a concern.

More to come after the game.
