FOXBOROUGH — The New England Patriots ' defense will have its hands full, having to defend star running back Derrick Henry in this week's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. But, there is one person on the staff who can help them prepare, as he has a lot of experience working with the All-Pro.
Mike Vrabel prepares to defend against his former Titans centerpiece for the first time as Patriots head coach ahead of Sunday night's game in Baltimore.
The Patriots ultimately settled for a field goal at the end of the half to make the score 24-7. The defense allowed touchdowns in four straight possessions in the second half, while the Patriots scored just one more touchdown, resulting in a 35-31 loss.
Any of these seven candidates could be considered worthy of the award, but the Patriots' and 49ers' coaches have the strongest case.
