FOXBORO — Tom Brady completed 8-of-12 passes for 75 yards while Sony Michel showed his most explosive glimpses so far in the preseason as the Patriots remain unbeaten in the 2019 preseason with a 10-3 victory over the Carolina Panthers at Gillette Stadium.<\/p>\n
Patrick Chung was not on the sideline or in uniform after reports of his indictment on felony cocaine possession charges<\/a> earlier in the day.<\/p>\n Like in Nashville last Saturday, some uncharacteristic sloppiness cost the Patriots early in the game. One example came when rookie Jakobi Meyers was called for holding on a 30-yard run by Michel in the first quarter.<\/p>\n Meyers also appeared to run the wrong route on a Brady deep ball on the first series of the game. He also had a dropped pass from Brady. Meyers recovered nicely to catch seven passes on 12 targets for 74 yards.<\/p>\n Ryan Izzo made a diving catch on a thread-the-needle pass on a Rob Gronkowski-like seam route down to the Carolina 8. Several plays later, it was James Develin diving in from one yard out for the Patriots first touchdown, a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter that lasted until Joey Slye’s 41-yard field goal with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n James Develin slams it in from the one to cap a monster 15-play, 85-yard drive for the #Patriots<\/a> <\/p>\n 9:52 2ND#Patriots<\/a> 7#Panthers<\/a> 0<\/p>\n — Patriots on CLNS (@PatriotsCLNS) August 23, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
