‘“When you go on the road in the NFL, you have to get used to that. You go in there with 46 active, five or six other guys, your coaches and a few fans in the crowd. I think it’s always gratifying when you go in there and by the end of the game you look up, and there are only Patriots fans left,” he said with a big grin. “I always think that is pretty cool. To go on the road in the NFL is tough, and certainly early in the game, after their pregame tailgate, they’re a little fired up. They’re into it and they’re pretty loud. We have to go out and execute early and start fast, which we’ve actually done a good job at this year. That is really important this week.”’
