forced the New England Patriots to use just a single personnel grouping for most of the second half of Thursday night’s win over the New York Giants.“We were down to one (personnel) grouping the whole second half Ray-Ray Armstrong Jerseys 2019 ,” head coach Bill Belichick said.On a night where several Patriots players were banged up, the injuries to LaCosse and Johnson left New England without a fullback and just a lone healthy tight end. That forced New England to use different variations of “11” personnel for the remainder of the game, which stands for one running back, one tight end and three wide receivers.“Got kind of forced into one grouping there in the second half. I don’t think that’s ever happened in 20 years White B.J. Goodson Jerseys ,” quarterback Tom Brady said.The Patriots still had more than one running back at their disposal and more that three wide receivers to substitute in and out, but the grouping itself was pretty fixed because of LaCosse and Johnson being unavailable. Izzo also lined up at fullback occasionally to give the Patriots some variability to their looks.Despite being shorthanded, the Patriots still managed to amass 199 yards of offense in the second half. All four second half possessions resulted in drives inside the Giants’ 35-yard line, though a missed field goal B.J. Goodson Jerseys 2019 , turnover on downs and the end of the game meant only one of those drives resulted in points.“I thought Josh (McDaniels) and the offensive staff did a great job of managing the game,” Belichick said.LaCosse left the game with a knee injury while Johnson was sidelined with a shoulder injury. The Giants lost left tackle Nate Solder during their last offensive drive, but they didn’t need him to score their second touchdown of Sunday’s game against the Jets.Head coach Pat Shurmur elected to go for it on a fourth down from the Jets’ 39-yard-line and wide receiver Darius Slayton turned a short pass from Daniel Jones into a touchdown. A botched snap on the extra point led to punter Riley Dixon trying a wobbly pass for the end zone that was intercepted, so the Jets lead 14-13 in the second quarter.Slayton also had the Giants’ first touchdown of the day as their offense found its footing once the Jets had raced out to a 14-0 lead on their first two possessions. The two Giants rookies have connected three times for 52 yards overall.Solder has been ruled out with a concussion. Eric Smith White Aldrick Rosas Jerseys , who is making his NFL debut, is now playing left tackle. The Giants are also without Mike Remmers, who is out with a back injury. Nick Gates is playing in his place.
