Bill Parcells Comments On The Latest Patriots News
Bill Parcells has spoken about the latest on the New England Patriots drama. He spoke with Gary Myers of the Athletic and he was asked about the latest turmoil in New England.

They got that young back from Georgia [Sony Michel], who looks like he can score touchdowns if he gets a step or so. I don’t see anybody right now in their division that I would say has the upper hand on them, that’s for sure. If you can win your division, you are a long way down the road to doing some
