While defense is expected to play a bigger role in tonight’s game, because of the wind, don’t expect great things from the kicking game.
Swirling winds, especially blowing in their faces from the West going East, sent several field goal attemps and punts short and wide of their intended targets.
Patriots kicker Steve Gostowski had a difficult time making kicks beyond 35 yards going toward the uprights to the East.
We may seem some low, short kickoffs as well.
