The Patriots return to the practice field today and head coach Bill Belichick touched on three areas in which the team will be working.

  • Third down

  • Two-minute drill

  • Red-zone

    The Giants defense has been excellent on third down this season, ranking fifth in the NFL in holding opponents to a 34.6 percent conversion rate. On the flip side, the Patriots had the NFL's second-rated offense on third down, converting at a 48.2 percent clip.
