- Patriots first-rounder reacts to playoff debut
FOXBOROUGH — Sunday’s 16-3 win over the Chargers was a tractor pull for most of the night for the Patriots offense.
New England didn’t find the end zone until the fourth quarter and turned the ball over twice. Rookie left tackle Will Campbell was culpable for one of those turnovers, as he was beat clean by Odafe Oweh for a strip sack of Drake Maye in the third quarter.

Though it wasn’t a perfect night for the first-rounder or the offense, Campbell was just happy to get a win in his playoff debut.
“The stadium was electric tonight, best I’ve seen it since I’ve been here,” Campbell said. “The crowd was into it. Shout out to our defense, they played their tails off tonight, (kicker) Andy Borregales played his tail off tonight. We started off a little slow, they kept us in it. We were able to put some points up later, but those guys played their tails off too, so hats off to them.”
Whether the Patriots draw the Steelers or Texans next week at Gillette Stadium, Campbell will be tasked with slowing down strong edge rushers. The rookie is thrilled to be moving on the divisional round.
“It’s a blessing,” Campbell said. “It’s what you work for. Get another opportunity to go out there and play, it’s everything you can ask for. You got to have a good week, find out who we’re playing, just get ready to go.”
