Lloyd on bad day: ‘The ball didn't stick'

Share

FOXBORO -- The Patriots move on to the next game quickly as it is. But wide receiver Brandon Lloyd probably wanted to move on from Sunday's win over the New York Jets quicker than most in New England.

Lloyd made only one catch for six yards in the win. And one of his drops came late in the fourth quarter, on a Tom Brady pass deep down the left sideline that seemingly hit his chest and got away from him.

It was, by far, his worst game with the Patriots since joining the team in March.

"The ball didn't stick as well as I would have liked it to," said Lloyd before Wednesday's practice at Gillette Stadium. "But that's why we have such an accomplished group of pass catchers."

Lloyd pointed towards the depth in New England's offense, and that because of Brady's weapons, his one bad day didn't necessarily have to be the end of the world.

"If a guy's not having the night that he would particularly like, there's other guys that can pick up the slack," said Lloyd. "And Tom does a great job of finding receivers and continuing the positive plays."
