New England is on the road again in week 9 in Charlotte North Carolina to face the Carolina Panthers for the 8th time ever. Sam Darnold is hurt but there's a chance he'll play vs. Mac Jones for the Patriots. Jones is learning life the NFL way as well as NFL life, the Patriot's way and Bill Belichick's way. For him coming from Alabama it shouldn't be that big of an adjustment. Will Carolina continue to lead the regular season series against New England or will the Patriots pull a game out close to home?
