Another long drive for the Patriots, with Aaron Hernandez reeling in perhaps the best single pass of the game for Tom Brady netting about 20 yards. Things stalled out in the red zone thanks to some good defensive play by the Chargers, but Stephen Gostkowski nailed his third field goal of the game to give the Pats a 23-6 lead.
Things are looking very good for the Patriots to escape San Diego with the win now. There’s only 11 minutes left to play, and the Chargers have a lot of ground to make up against a Patriots defense that’s been all over the place today.
