Misery Index · Euphoric
Patriots fans letting themselves believe 8-2 with a seven-game streak and a road win over Tampa is actually real.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Maye's pick at the goal line could have flipped this one, but K.Williams' 72-yard score and T.Henderson's 55-yard burst built enough cushion that a late M.Hollins 54-yarder put it away. Seven straight, 8-2, and a road win over a contender — the kind of week where the formula stops mattering because someone keeps making the play. The margin for sloppy giveaways shrinks from here, but that's a problem for next Sunday.
