New England Patriots 34 vs Tennessee Titans 13

“The Patriots won their ninth straight season-opener, as quarterback Tom Brady completed 21 of 36 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.

“The offensive line, which has been a concern for weeks, held up fairly well for the quarterback, who was sacked just once, hit four times and did a good job blocking for Ridley.

““Those guys did a really good job,” coach Bill Belichick said. “We did a good job running the ball offensively … made some big plays, turned the ball over and had good field position, so it was a good team win. All three units contributed.” – Boston.com
