Brian chats with the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed about the Patriots’ win on Sunday, Rhamondre Stevenson’s great game, defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington’s brilliant game plan against the Bengals offense, an early preview of the Seahawks-Pats game in Week 2, and more (0:30). Then, Brian discusses whether or not the Pats can have success with a limited passing game before he switches to the Red Sox, who are miraculously still in the wild-card race (42:45). Brian and Jamie end with a couple of listener calls and chat about Bill Belichick’s debut on the ManningCast (53:25).We want to hear from you!
