Pats quarterback Mac Jones threw for 218 yards; with neither a touchdown pa s, nor an interception. Damien Harris would add 80 yards rushing on 23 carries, with a touchdown of his own. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert pa sed for 223 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions, the most costly of which coming in the fourth quarter. Former Charger Adrian Phillips put the Pats ahead for good with a pick-six of Herbert, as the Patriots defeated the Chargers, 27-24 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, improving New England to 4-4 on the 2021 season.Patriots head coach Bill Belichick met with the media, both postgame on Sunday, and again on Monday morning. Here are some of the highlights from Belichicks meets with the media: Postgame: Sunday, October 31Opening Statement: A really good win for our team today. The Chargers are a good football team. Coming here and getting the win is a great feeling. Certainly, there are some things that we could have done better. We left some plays on the field, some penalties and non-penalties. We could have coached better, could have played better. We could have taken advantage of a couple of opportunities that we mi sed on. Again, all and all, we made the plays that we needed to make in the fourth quarter, which Khalil Mack T Shirts is something that we hadnt done as well earlier in the year. Its good to see that. Its good to come out here and get a win. Looking forward to the big game against Carolina. The team had a good week. Its a big challenge coming here. Two weeks in a row weve had fresh teams coming off the bye. The Chargers had a lot of energy. Chargers Head Coach Brandon Staley does a good job. We put the ball down the field. I thought we played better in the second half until the last two-minute drive, defensively. Offensively, we moved the ball. We would just like to come out with a few more points. I thought Patriots K Nick Folk kicked well, like he always does. Patriots WR Gunner Olszewski had some. The punt return team, not just Gunner, had some good returns to put the offense in good position. Obviously, Patriots DB Adrian Phillips APs two picks were big differences in the game, really counted for 10 points there. Thats pretty much the story.On DB Adrian Phillips Justin Fields Jersey interceptions:He does a good job of seeing the routes, seeing the quarterback, having vision on the ball. Just good awarene s. Hes a good football player. He did that when we opened last year against Miami, the first game in the 2020 season where he made the play on the slant route. He makes those plays in practice, too. He knows football and has good hands.On the teams growth week-to-week:Were just trying to get better every day.On head coach Brandon Staleys impact on the Brian Johnson Jersey Chargers:It was one of those days last year where everything went right for us. There arent many days like those in the NFL, but we had one last year. We didnt really put much stock in that. Its a new game. Its not the same players. Its a totally new offensive line. Some of the key players like RB Austin Ekeler and, obviously, WR Keenan Allen. TE Jared Cook is a good addition. Defensively, OLB Joey Bosa. We played against S Derwin James Jr. , he certainly makes a difference. Some of the players are the same, some of them are different, but this is a different team. They are playing with a lot of energy. Coach Staley has them on the right track. You see what they have done already this year. Theyre going to be a hard team to deal with throughout the rest of the season. They have a good offense, good defense. Im sure theyre helping the return game. They addre sed some areas and Im sure that it will make them better.On the defenses performance against QB Justin Herbert:We did some good things. We gave up some big plays. We need to coach better and play better more consistently. We did enough things to win, so thats good. On offense, we ran the ball, we moved the ball, we got enough points to win. Theres certainly a lot of room for improvement and we will work on that this week.On why the team will stay tonight in Los Angeles:A few things. Its the best thing to do.On the improvement of Patriots QB Mac Jones:Every game is a new game. Each one is a different experience, different defense, different players, different gameplan. Week by week, he can stack them together. He has done a good job of that. Each week is a challenge. This defense is different than any defense weve seen this year. Carolina will be different next week, too. Mac has done a great job. He prepares. He works hard. He definitely knows what to do. Some things he needs to see and experience. Theres really no substitute for that other than getting out there and doing it.On Phillips interception return for a touchdown:Scroll to ContinueI didnt really see the whole play. Ill take a look at it on film. It looked like Jared Cook Bilal Nichols Jersey wasnt looking for the ball. Adrian saw it and made a good play on him. You would have to ask somebody, I dont know.On the Patriots displaying resilience defensively:The same thing on the goal-line stop down there. We got stopped on the one and had to punt, then they returned the ball and had good field position on the punt return. Then, we had the fumble and got the ball back after that. I thought our players showed a lot of resilience today, all the way acro s the board. Not just on defense but in all three phases. The Chargers are a tough team. They put a lot of pre sure on it. They are an explosive offense. Derwin James and Joey Bosa, starting with those two guys, they are really good players on defense. They are centerpieces. Coach Staley obviously is a great defensive coach. He has proved throughout his career, and certainly last year. I thought, as a team, we showed a lot of resilience and toughne s. Defensively, it was good after the first drive, settled things down a little bit. We gave up an 80-yard run or whatever it was, but there were some big plays that kind of skewed some of the good plays in there. We did a good job keeping Herbert in the pocket in the second half. That definitely helped us.On the offenses final scoring drive:Its always great to see the offense move the ball and score points. I love it.Monday, November Teven Jenkins Jersey 1On the development of DL Christian Barmore:Hes been out there every day and improved. He works really hard and has a really good skill set. Hes earned his way out there, and hes done well in all situations.On the contributions of Kyle Dugger to the secondary:Kyle is a very versatile player for us. He plays a lot down by the line of scrimmage, but he can also play deep. Hesa strong tackler, and can play the blitz, can play man-to-man. He matches up well with the multipl
