What happened: Gabe Jacas faced an unbalanced formation with a tackle aligned over a bunch toward the boundary. He crossed the blocker's face when the offense tried to block down on him, Mike Vrabel said at his [Thursday press conference](https://www.patriots.com/news/transcript-head-coach-mike-vrabel-press-conference-9-10-x2106).

Why it matters: Vrabel also credited the rookie outside linebacker with setting good edges against the run and making a tackle for loss, describing his overall play as improving.

What to watch: Special-teams execution remains an area for correction, Vrabel said.
