Atlanta gambled a few too many times on offense and lost the field possession game. Wilson was efficient and a couple deep balls did it.
Pats shows the Belichek way keeps the results the same with different players.
But it wouldn't be a Cam Newton game if he didn't get in an altercation post game because someone took a pull on his gold chain. Belichek I don't think had that to deal with with Brady.
Bucs will be interesting to see with Arians. Belichek's protection if his players and ways from the press, and his expectations of his players behind the scenes, while unique, did more good then harm when it came to keeping consistency in the team. Arians doesn't have that discipline or temperament, so after games like today, it will be a bit more chaotic and Brady and crew are going to have to do more talking for themselves as opposed to the coach talking for them and deflecting in the press.
