The one troubling statistic, upon taking a quick glance at the box score, is New England's sack total (three). But the game film removes blame from the O-line, especially on the first two sacks. On the first one, Smith scrambled to his right and failed to get back to the line of scrimmage (or throw it away!). On the second, Smith actually lost his footing while still in the pocket. No doubt he bailed his unit out a couple of times by tucking and running with the ball, but I can only hold the OL accountable for the third sack, which occurred on a third-and-11 and very well could have been considered a coverage sack. The unit did allow some other pressures and get flagged four times -- three holding penalties (one declined) and a false start -- but all in all, this was a fantastic start for an underappreciated group.
