The New England Patriots are smoking the Denver Broncos in the battle of the special teams units. After a fumble on a punt set New England up for its first touchdown, Dion Lewis scored its second on a 103-yard kickoff return.

The touchdown and ensuing PAT put the Patriots up 14-3.
There’s still a lot of time left. But given that Tom Brady has frequently struggled in Denver in his career, the Patriots have to be more than pleased with this start.
