Taking a closer look at three key Patriots plays from Sunday's win over the Cardinals, that include:
- Cam Newton nearly made a big mistake on the eventual 4th-down score by James White, but Newton caught himself and David Andrews told him he was right and set the stage for the plunge
- Jason McCourty's tackle set the stage, but Lawrence Guy and Akeem Spence to star on the goal-line stand.
- Chase Winovich held the edge while the Cardinals imploded on a huge third-down play to set up the Patriots' chance to win the game
