New England Patriots could smash an unwanted National Football League record in 2017

After missing the first three games of the season, Buccaneers running back Doug Martin has officially been activated to the 53-man roster and expects to play Thursday night against the New England Patriots. Offensively, we have to be able to score more points than the other team; no matter what they score, we have to score more.

Gronkowski was limited with a thigh injury during Wednesday’s walkthrough and listed as questionable on New England’s injury report. The Texans are coming off a game in which they scored a franchise-record 57 points as rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson accounted for five touchdowns against the Titans.

Led by 2015 first-overall pick Jameis Winston at quarterback, Tampa is sitting at 2-1 heading into their Thursday Night Football matchup.

Neither of Brady’s turnovers led to points for Tampa Bay (2-2), which was unable to do much offensively until the fourth quarter, when its comeback bid was hindered by two missed field goals.

What is going on with the New England Patriots this season? He has just 2 catches for 24 yards this season. They’ve allowed a league-worst 456.8 yards per game, while also yielding almost as many points (128) as the defending champs have scored (129).

Doug Martin, making his season debut following a four-game suspension dating back to past year, scored the game’s first touchdown when he dove into the end zone with 8:26 remaining in the first half.

That’s not a good statistic if the Bucs are going to upset – yes, I said it – the Patriots on Thursday night on their home field. In the last two games, they’ve faced teams with passing attacks that had been dormant – and gave up over 300 yards to each.

After struggling on both sides of the ball in a Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay bounced back with a close victory over the New York Giants in Week 4 on a game-winning field goal by Nick Folk as time expired. I’m trying to (get) better and better because I know that he’s still out there playing. He became the Patriots’ starting QB when Drew Bledsoe suffered an injury in the second game of the 2001 season. Tampa Bay have allowed 394 yards per game on average.

The Patriots hole a 6-2 advantage over the Bucs all-time. Martin was issued a four-game suspension last year by the NFL for a violation of the league’s PED policy, and he served the first of the four games at the end of last year.
