ESPN’s Ryan Clark Says He Is Disgusted To Say The Patriots Are Going Back To The Super Bowl

The Patriots are turning heads after their big 24-6 road win at Carolina this weekend. That includes a few former haters like former Pittsburgh Steeler Ryan Clark, and longtime hater Rex Ryan.

On ESPN’s “Get Up” Monday, Clark said he believes the Patriots are going back to the Super Bowl.

“The Patriots are going to mess around and get to the Super Bowl,” Clark said. “When I said it yesterday, I said it out of disgust. It wasn’t something that I analyzed and that I felt really good about in watching and re-watching the film saying to myself, ‘You know what? I am so excited that the dang Patriots are good again.’ I am absolutely not.”

“This is everything that we thought they’d be,” Clark said. “We thought they had added some pieces in free agency to make the offense flow a little bit better for who at the time we thought was going to be Cam Newton.”

To Clark’s surprise, Mac Jones has been better than even he thought Cam would have been.

Rex Ryan who is notoriously critical of the Patriots seemed to agree.

“I was all out on these guys, ever since Tom Brady left,” he said Sunday. “I looked at them like I’m completely done with this team. It’s going to be 10 years until they make the playoffs. I don’t want to say it, but they’re dangerous.”

The Patriots now control their own destiny, and with things continuing to improve, and the run heavy offense, they could be a team that nobody wants to play against once the weather turns.
