Tom Curran's Patriots Talk Podcast is presented by Fan Dual Sportsbook. Make Every Moment more.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome into Tom Curran's Patriots Talk podcast.

With a couple of smiling hosts for the aftermath, it's Tom Curran and Phil Perry.

We're not smiling because we're non-objective sports reporters, Phil.

We're smiling because you get to cover a team that's got a little bit of optimism around it.

So we don't have to keep singing the same songs.

No question.

That's, you know, I think that's what the people are most concerned about is how we feel after a loss.

No, but I mean, I want to acknowledge, you know, if there's a hop in our step verbally,

it's because, you know, I'd rather see the team win them lose.

Let's sing and zang on this.

Top three reasons why they won.

Your first reason, and I'll follow you with my first reason.

I'll go with Mack Jones, game-winning drive.

I mean, there's a guy who hasn't had one since Houston, his rookie year, and has probably heard a lot about

that, that he can't bring the team back and he doesn't have it in him.

The throw to Hunter Henry when he's getting hit for 14 yards on 3rd and 8 in Bill's territory,

I thought was maybe the best throw of the game for him in a game where he had a few dimes.

And so I give it to him, the throw to Gusecchi, obviously a good one, the little checkdown to Ramandre Stevenson just to get it out of his hands for 10 yards on that final drive.

Excellent final drive for him, sparked by an excellent catch and run by Romandre Stevenson.

He didn't have to do a whole heck of a lot on that one.

But good offensive football by them led by Mack.
