Linebacker Dont'a Hightower was critical of his performance in the season opener, saying: "I want to play a lot better, be a little bit more impactful. It's Week 1 and we're still growing, so I'm not going to beat myself up about it. … I just feel like I can do a lot better than what I'm doing, so I just want to pick up the slack on that."

Second-year OL Mike Onwenu, who stepped in as a rookie and played right tackle at a starter-caliber level, didn't move from left guard to right tackle after Trent Brown left the season-opening loss with a calf injury. That would presumably be a consideration Sunday against the Jets if Brown — who missed the first practice of the week — isn't ready to play. But that hasn't been on Bill Belichick's radar to this point. "I haven't really taken any right tackle snaps (in practices)," Onwenu said.

Hunter Henry: The way Mac Jones hung in the pocket, and delivered the ball under pressure, made an impression.

Straight talk from RBs coach Ivan Fears: "It was the classic thing that you wouldn't expect to happen, that we would actually give the ball away, give the God damn game away by turning the ball over in the last few minutes of the game, when we were in scoring position. That's a hard one to accept, and for Damien [Harris], that stings like a son of a gun. … He's the kind of guy that I think will come out of this all right."
