You know, I thought that game was going to actually be a little bit more exciting.

This is kind of ugly, but we had some drama early because Darnold goes down injuring his hip.

But then with those two guys going down now, Drew Watson, it just it becomes a totally different football game.

Because if you have Kenneth Walker, then you can kind of control the pace of the game a little more.

If the Seahawks still had Walker, then they would have been able to do a little bit more.

They probably would have been able to put some more points on the board because the Patriots, they couldn't get in the end zone, especially after A.J. Brown went out.

It was like they were back to... their limits as it relates to their receiving core.

They traded him away, which I thought was silly because he was their deep threat and he was helping that offense a lot.

Because to me, the whole A.J. Brown thing was like, okay, well, you got A.J. Brown, and then you got Keyshawn Booty.

So the Patriots, I think this game, even though it was tight, they – they were hurt more than the Seahawks were.

Now, the thing with Darnold is he's supposed to be back maybe in a couple of weeks.

They're just trying to gauge probably how serious it is, but it's not a season ending.
