Patriots win 37-22 over bills, but at a high cost
 |
| Jerod Mayo |
New England linebacker Jerod Mayo and running back Stevan Ridley came out with knee injuries during the game and initial reports are that both have suffered serious injuries.
Albert Breer of NFL Network reported that Ridley will have an MRI on Monday and it is feared that he has broken his cruciate ligament in the third quarter, when he injured his knee during a carry. Ridley was struggling to take over the top spot in the rotation of team's RBs, but if true, Shane Vereen, Brandon Bolden and rookie James White will share the backfield for the rest of the season.
Mayo also needs more testing and corner-back Darrelle Revis talked about what his absence means for the defense.
"It is tragic what happened. We have great respect for Jerod, and what he has done for this organization" ,Revis said, via NESN.com. "We just hope you have a speedy recovery and hope he can return as quickly as possible. The big word that stands out is the leadership that has on defense. He affects us all."
The Patriots host the Jets on Thursday night and it seems they will have to work quickly to patch some holes before they start the game.
