People were holding their breath and then jacoby stepped in pup i wouldnt say awesome, but he was serviceable. Robert kraft says we got the win last week. He has been in the High Pressure situations before. Hes not the only pats player. Talk about jimmy g. It looks like it will be next week or the week after. Also, lets talk about rob gronkowski. There is a ton of speculation on whether rob will play or not. There are positive signs saying rob is going to play. First and foremost, hes been telling his teammates all week long that hes going to play. Then we have the video of him out to practice in full pads. No reason to come out for a walk throu
If he would come back out on the field. Back to you across the field. Reporter ill tell you one thing, they are all itching to play. Gronk wants to play. Donta hightower wants to play. Tonight in the meantime, lets turn it back over to lisa and david. Steve burton, thank you so much. There is a certain buzz in the air whether it be monday night football, sunday night football, or thursday night football where the patriots seem to be doing. Times in the history and won the past six in a row. In addition, they have never lost at home to the houston texans. So this is great tonight. They will be pumped up when they walk out on this field. They are already geared up, the fans, that is. Nick giovanni has been out in the parking lot talking to the tailgaters. I dont know if you have seen they may not have been a huge seller, but maybe after tonight. Reporter take a look. Tailgaters as far as the eye can see. 2 1 2 hours before kickoff, and when you think about it, were in unfarm territory ou
