Wipe out turnovers

As mentioned above, Jones registered three turnovers against the Saints, even if several weren’t totally his fault. In both Patriots losses thus far, they were either hurt by interceptions or fumbles.

After three weeks, the Patriots’ turnover differential sits at zero, with five takeaways and five turnovers on the books.

The bottom line here is this: Tom Brady is deadly if you give him extra chances.

The Patriots can’t lose the turnover war if they expect to have a chance over the heavilyfavored Bucs.

“We have to be smart about what we’re doing,” said tight end Hunter Henry. “We have to take care of the ball.”
