First quarter

The Patriots won the coin toss and elected to take the opening kick for the first time this season. The drive quickly got going behind tight ends Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper and Rhamondre Stevenson. After two Cardinals injuries – including former Patriot Mack Wilson – a tackle on Layden Robinson prevented a 15-yard third-down conversion. On 3rd-and-10 after a Cardinals penalty, a conservative screen call to Pop Douglas gained just four yards. This set up a 53-yard field goal that Joey Slye missed wide left.

After the miss, Arizona took over the first drive at the 43-yard line and was started by a man stick to Marvin Harrison Jr., who took the ball 23 yards. New England then held when Christian Elliss brought down Kyler Murray in the open field, leading to Chad Ryland missing a 49-yard field goal. (Patriots 0:3 Cardinals)

Two poor reps from left tackle Vederian Lowe – one in the run game and one that resulted in a sack – set New England up for a 3rd-and-12. Maye’s short pass went perfectly to Douglas, who fumbled after a big hit, causing the ball to eventually be caught by Kendrick Bourne. Then Bryce Baringer punted.

Arizona’s second drive began with a big 53-yard strike from James Connor that got the offense going outside the red zone. After working inside the 10, the receiver fumbled after an end-around against Greg Dortch in front of the goal line and the ball was recovered in the end zone by a Cardinals offensive lineman, Jonah Williams, for a touchdown. (Patriots 0:10 Cardinals)

Two short completions forced the Patriots to a first 3rd-and-6 on the next drive, where Ben Brown’s second bad snap of the game resulted in a punt.
