New England Patriots: 3 players to be thankful for in 2018 season
By Sam Minton
The New England Patriots haven’t had the greatest season so far, but these 3 players have been great.
This season has been full of up and downs for the New England Patriots. They have a 7-3 record but have looked awful at times. Still, some players are having great seasons for the Patriots.
For the first time in a long time, there is some doubt surrounding New England. They have been locks to make it to the Super Bowl for the last few years. This season fans aren’t as confident. The Patriots aren’t destroying teams like they used to.
New England’s offense has struggled against sub-par opponents, and the defense has made quarterbacks like Blake Bortles look like MVP candidates. Not exactly what you want to see from your favorite team.

Still, New England is near the top of the AFC East. With the Kansas City Chiefs losing in Week 11 the Patriots still have a shot at gaining the No.1 seed in the AFC. It won’t be easy but I will never doubt the abilities of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. They are the best at what they do.
In 2018 we have seen some players develop into stars and some have lackluster performances. Guys like Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski need to dominate the 2nd half of the season.
But let’s not dwell on the negative and focus on the positive. Here are 3 New England Patriots players we should be thankful for this season.
