The have made it six in a row after defeating the at Gillette Stadium in Week 12, 36-13. This game was a bit closer than that final score suggests, particularly in the first half. The Patriots entered halftime up by just a field goal as Tenne see was able to hang around, despite mi sing a number of key pieces on offense. However, the second half -- -- has Dennis Kelly Jersey been where New England has routinely slammed the door shut as they were able to go on a 20-0 run over the final two quarters.With this win, the Patriots have moved up to the No. 2 seed in the AFC and now have a ma sive battle on deck against the in Buffalo on "Monday Night Football.'' With this being the first time these two division rivals have faced one another this year and both effectively neck-and-neck in the AFC East race, this head-to-head is poised to be one of the biggest games of the year for New England. Before we turn our full attention to that contest, however, let's take one last look back at this win over Tenne see and see which way a number of players are trending coming out of Week 12.Kendrick Bourne is the . The receiver was a key cog in the offense from wire to wire and helped New England get on the board first by making an impre sive red-zone catch from where he had to Eddie George Jersey beat his defender, break out to the back right corner of the end zone and make the leaping catch.Bourne then followed that catch up with a back-breaking 41-yard touchdown where he made a number of defenders mi s and was able to open the game up in favor of the Patriots. Also, credit to for a key block on this touchdown run. Kendrick did THAT. | : / Patriots app New England Patriots (@Patriots) Bourne finished his day catching five of his six targets for 61 yards and those two scores.New England had i sues stopping the run against Tenne see, which is a rather concerning development given that the team was without both its first string ( ) and second string ( ) backs. On the day, the Patriots surrendered 270 yards on the ground on 6.9 yards per carry. and both rushed for over 100 yards, with Hilliard having the most productive day, notching 131 yards on the ground, including a 68-yard touchdown before the half.Hilliard caught the Patriots defense Ben Jones Jersey sleeping with roughly 40 seconds on the clock before the half and ran the ball up the gut e sentially untouched as he rolled to the end zone. DONTRELL HILLIARD. 68 YARDS! : on CBS: NFL app NFL (@NFL) That'll be something New England must improve upon going forward if they want to keep this streak alive. Nick Folk continues to be one of the most consistent players on the Patriots this season. Against Tenne see, New England struggled to find the end zone (more on that below), but Folk was able to come in and put points on the board. He hit five of his six field-goal attempts with his lone mi s coming from 53 yards out. He also netted all three of his extra-point attempts, accounting for 18 points on the afternoon. Jurrell Casey Jersey In this game, Folk also netted his fifth 50-yard field goal of the season, which ties him with (2013) for the franchise record for a season.It was a rough day at the office for the Patriots red zone offense as they converted on just two of their fives trips when they got inside the 20. It was an all-around shaky effort by New England when they entered that area of the field from the play calling to the quarterback play. While this specific play came just outside the red zone, Mac Jones' mi s to on what should have been a walk-in touchdown was a good example of how this offense was just a tick off when they got within spitting distance of the end zone. Very ugly mi s by Mac Jones to a wide open Hunter Henry, who had a walk-in-touchdown.Patriots ended up with a FG on the drive. Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) J.C. Jackson continues to be one of the more clutch figures in the Patriots defense and has quite the knack for creating turnovers. He recorded an end zone interception off in the fourth quarter that eliminated a scoring opportunity by the Titans, but his best play of the game come on Tenne see's opening drive of the second half. With just a six-point Patriots lead, Titans running back D'Onta Foreman was in the midst of a 30 Marcus Mariota Jersey -yard run that was set to flip the field. However, Jackson was able to race up and catch Foreman to punch the ball loose and force a fumble, which would recover. . more like Mr. Forced Fumble.: / Patriots app New England Patriots (@Patriots) According to PFF, Jackson allowed just two catches on the day for 10 yards along with that interception.The backfield has been an area of strength for the Patriots all season, but it was a slow day at the office for both Earl Campbell Jersey Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson. They combined for 86 yards and a touchdown in what was one of their least impactful games of the year. Those numbers were particularly poor at the break when the Patriots had just 23 yards rushing on 2.6 yards per carry. At halftime, tight end had more rushing yards (9) than both Harris (8) and Stevenson (6), despite recording multiple carries. Again, the running game has been arguably the best piece of the Patriots offense for the bulk of the season, so this is likely just a one-off with this unit returning to form over the next few weeks.
