"New England Patriots McCourty will call a Patriots game for the third time in the regular season on Sunday after calling two of their preseason games. It's hard to imagine that there's a national broadcaster who has a better handle on the Patriots' stunning improvement this season than Jason McCourty. The former Patriots defensive back not only joined his twin brother, Devin, and Scott Zolak as part of Channel 4's preseason broadcasts, but this week's matchup with the Falcons will be the third time he has seen the Patriots this regular season as part of CBS's No. 4 broadcast crew."
""I wouldn't have thought that eight games into this that they'd be where they are as a football team," said McCourty, who beyond his CBS gig also is an NFL analyst for an assortment of ESPN programs. "I'm definitely surprised at how fast they've improved from not only last year, but from the last two seasons from where they were as a team. "But I think a lot of that has to do with something I learned during my playing career. When you have a guy at the quarterback position, you have a chance. And the leap that Drake Maye has made this season has made them into a completely different football team.""
Jason McCourty will call a Patriots game for a third regular-season time after calling two preseason games and two earlier regular-season contests. McCourty has watched the team at different stages and noted upgraded talent from the draft and free agency along with culture building under coach Mike Vrabel. The Patriots have a 6-2 record and quarterback Drake Maye is being discussed as an MVP candidate after several outstanding performances. Maye's Week 2 outing included a 19-of-23 passing line for 230 yards and two touchdowns, signaling his significant improvement this season.
