BSJ Daily Briefing: 9.21.20: Patriots come up just short against Seattle, Celtics look to even series against Miami this week

Good morning!

Your daily rundown of what’s going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution, and what’s about to happen, for BSJ members only…

• The Patriots came up just one yard short of an awfully impressive comeback against the Seahawks up at CenturyLink Field, with New England ultimately handed a 35-30 defeat. 


• Was the Patriots' final play of the night too predictable? Greg breaks it down here. 


• We officially have a series in the Eastern Conference Finals, as Boston punched back and earned the win in Game 3 over the Heat on Saturday night. 


• Even though his stat line may not be as flashy as Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum’s, Gordon Hayward made a major difference in Saturday's victory.


• The Celtics won't battle the Heat again until Wednesday, but BRobb takes a look at how Boston can sustain this turnaround against a tough Miami team going forward.


• This dreadful Red Sox season is finally nearing its end, but Sean managed to find some positives in what was a painful slog through the summer. 


• After losing their 12th straight game to the Yankees on Saturday night, the Sox finally managed to get off the schneid on Sunday afternoon with a 10-2 victory over New York. 


• Tanner Houck continues to be one of the few bright spots among Boston’s lackluster pitching corps this season. 


• We’re less than three weeks away from NHL free agency — who should the Bruins avoid when the feeding frenzy begins?
