FOXBORO, Mass. — After a fracas-filled week of practice, the Patriots and Panthers settled for a wrestling match Friday night.
The Pats won their second preseason game, a physical 20-10 finish at Gillette Stadium. Mac Jones steered the starting offense into a pair of three-and-outs before reaching the end zone on his third and final drive of the night. He finished 4 of 8 for 61 yards, including a 45-yard bomb to Nelson Agholor in the second quarter.
Three plays after they connected, veteran receiver/running back Ty Montgomery rushed in a 2-yard touchdown. Kickers Nick Folk and Tristan Vizcaino each drilled a field goal in the middle quarters. Vizcaino’s 51-yarder in the third proved to be the game-winner.
