Patriots and Seahawks, two once-proud franchises fallen on hard times, meet with a chance to go 2-0

Associated Press  

— The New England Patriots were so bad last year they fired six-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick. “You see the direction that we’re trying to go, you see what happens when you do follow the process, and you do buy into the plan,” Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett said this week. But I think it’s even more apparent after you do get those results.” The Seahawks and Patriots have both fallen far since their matchup in Super Bowl 49, when Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson at the goal line and Tom Brady knelt out the final seconds to seal yet another championship for New England. “That’s my job as the head coach of the team: to make sure that these guys are ready to change the page.” Take them to the hill The call came out from the New England sideline in Cincinnati: “Take them to the hill.” It was a reference to the steep hill where the Patriots ran sprints at the end of training camp practices. “We’re running one play the whole time and they’re not stopping it, so why change it?” Brissett said.
