Patriots Third Quarter Highs And Lows

BOSTON (CBS) -WBZ-TV's Levan Reid is bringing you all the in-game analysis from the New England Patriots preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Highs:

- We have a Ryan Mallett sighting to start the 3rd quarter.  He hit Taylor Price on a 50 yard passing play.  All Price on that one.  Yards after the catch were big.

- The Pats stayed with Mallett despite getting into a couple of 4th down situations.  This payed off.  They scored on a 1-yard run by Stevan Ridley.  Mallett's first NFL drive stats are 13 plays, 82 yards and 5:57 seconds.  He led the Pats on a touchdown drive.

- Jaguars first possession of the quarter and they go 3 and out.

- Pats get the ball back and score again.  Mallet to Stevan Ridley for a 16 yard scoring strike.  Right now Ridley is the star of the game.  3 touchdowns and over 90 all-purpose yards.  That's 26 fantasy points if you are into that.

- Darryl Richard has another sack.  That's his second on the night.

The Lows:

- Mallet looked okay on his first drive and then the Pats got into the redzone and he got a delay of game. The the Pats had to take a timeout.

- Special teams just keeps making mistakes.  Kicker Chris Koepplin kicked the kickoff out-of-bounds.  Linebacker Christian Cox, a rookie out of Utah, was shaken up on the play and had to be escorted off the field.

- The Jags have put together a good drive to end the quarter.  Darius Butler is getting torched on this drive.  He may be the surprise cut that happens every year in camp.

Pats up 33-9 after 3 quarters
