Danny Amendola returns to Gillette Stadium with the undefeated Miami D

olphins on Sunday. Brandin Cooks just had a superb receiving game for the Los Angeles Rams in their fourth straight win Thursday night.The New England Patriots Dakota Allen Jersey nfl draft , meanwhile, are sitting at 1-2 and looking for answers at wide receiver as they get set to play the fourth game of Julian Edelman's four-game performance-enhancers suspension.Asked Friday if it is frustrating to see his receivers go elsewhere and have success, Tom Brady said, "Not really. I'm happy for those guys.""Usually when you leave it's because you get good opportunities in other places," he added. "I'm usually generally frustrated by football in general just because it's a frustrating sport. But I'm sort of happy for guys when they do well."Brady said he didn't watch Cooks catch seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' win, saying only, "They have a good team. To be undefeated you have to be good."Through that Thursday game, Cooks, traded to Los Angeles for a first-round draft pick that turned into now-injured offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn, has 26 catches — two more than the New England wide receivers combined.Phillip Dorsett, Chris Hogan and Cordarrelle Patterson have combined for 24 grabs, 230 yards and three touchdowns. Cooks has almost twice as many yards, 452, as the Patriots, and has scored the one TD on Thursday.Amendola Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , who left the Patriots via free agency, has 11 catches for 100 yards, also for an undefeated team."He's a great friend. I'm happy for him and his opportunity," Brady said. "He's playing well. He was a great player for us. I have a great friendship with him and we'll be friends for the rest of our lives."New England acquired Josh Gordon from Cleveland in time for last week's game, but Gordon didn't suit up. Asked Friday if Gordon will play this week, coach Bill Belichick said, "We'll see."The Patriots have not lost three straight games since 2002. Last week, in the Sunday night loss at Detroit, they fell to 12-2 since '02 after a September loss. They are in the rare position of being two games behind someone - Miami - in the AFC East they seem to own by birthright.Does that make this a must-win situation?"These games are important. Division games, that's what it's all about, so . they're 3-0 and we're looking up at them," Brady said. "Obviously, we haven't played the way that we all think we're capable of playing, this is the next game, so it's going to be a great opportunity for us to go out there and see if we can put together four quarters of good football."He noted the key is the way his team starts the game. The numbers back him up: New England never trailed in the opening win against Houston but fell behind 14-0 at Jacksonville and 13-0 at Detroit Dakota Allen Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , where the offense was invisible until the second quarter."You get behind 10 points or 14 points at the start of games and you're looking uphill all game," Brady said. "It's tough to win like that and we've done that the last two weeks. So we've got to try a different style this week and see if we can get ahead, see if we can play from ahead."Last week, Brady, who has thrown six touchdowns passes and two interceptions, was guilty of throwing a pick — he had two through 10 games last year, none in the first four — into double coverage, and also of an intentional grounding."I'd always love to play great," he said. "I don't always make great decisions out there. But I'm trying. You don't get awards for trying in the NFL, so we're trying to play better than we played last week."A video surfaced Friday of Brady doing teammate James White's touchdown dance, the "Kodak Black," something Brady hopes to do Sunday."That's his move so he's trying to teach me something out there," Brady said. "He's pretty good at it, so I got a long way to go."White agreed: "He has a lot of work to do."So Brady said he was "going to be going home tonight and working on it - see if I can get in the end zone and do something special." Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan arrived as head coaches in the NFC West together last year as longtime friends and colleagues tasked with revitalizing struggling franchises.McVay has done a much quicker job overhauling the Los Angeles Rams than Shanahan has with the San Francisco 49ers. The teams headed in opposite directions meet for the first time this season on Sunday when the Rams (6-0) hope to remain the NFL's only unbeaten team when they visit the struggling 49ers (1-5).McVay credits Shanahan for his success, pointing to his four years as an assistant in Washington when Shanahan was offensive coordinator for much of his development."I wouldn't really say it was a give and take Dakota Allen Jersey Baby ," McVay said. "It was more me taking information from him, and him a lot of giving. I think more than anything, just being committed to an identity. The way he prepared was so impressive. The way that he saw the game. His ability to make things look the same and attack defensive structures and rules and manipulate those. He's a great coach. I learned so much from him."That knowledge has helped McVay build one of the NFL's top teams with a dynamic offense led by quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley that ranks third in scoring (32.7 points per game) and second in yards per play (7.16) after winning the NFC West last season.The Niners haven't had nearly as much success, winning just six games last year and struggling mightily this year after quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 3.San Francisco showed glimpses of becoming what Shanahan envisioned with five straight wins to end last season with Garoppolo at quarterback, but the team has a 1-13 record under Shanahan when either Brian Hoyer or C.J. Beathard starts.Beathard has shown improvement in his second year, leading San Francisco to back-to-back 400-yard games, but his seven turnovers in three starts contributed to the losses.While the results have been different and the teams take slightly divergent approaches 鈥?the Rams preferring three-receiver sets and the 49ers relying more on a two-back offense with fullback Kyle Juszczyk 鈥?both coaches have taken what they did together in Washington to their current teams."He's a good coach and a real good friend. We got to put a lot of that stuff in together," Shanahan said. "Just like you do everywhere and everyone you work with, you're always a product of your environment. You carry things over, you change a few things. We've both gone some different directions over the last few years, but when you do turn on the tape it's very similar."Here are some other things to watch:TAKE THE TOP OFFHaving a healthy Marquise Goodwin last week provided a big boost to San Francisco's offense. He made four catches for 126 yards, including touchdowns of 67 and 30 yards in the first half. Perhaps even more importantly, his sprinter's speed forces defenses to provide help in coverage, opening up holes in the running game and opportunities for other receivers."Guys are respecting his speed, and you've got to respect his speed Dakota Allen Jersey nfl draft ," Beathard said. "He can take the tops off of coverages, so it definitely helps having him out there."GOOD GURLEYGurley is off to a scintillating start with 870 yards from scrimmage and 11 TDs through six games. Since the merger in 1970, only two other players have reached those marks in six games: Priest Holmes for Kansas City in 2002, Emmitt Smith for Dallas in 1995. Gurley ran for 208 yards and two TDs last week in Denver. Gurley had 149 yards from scrimmage and three TDs in his only game against the Niners last year.RUN TO DAYLIGHTRaheem Mostert had just 13 carries since entering the NFL in 2015 before having a breakthrough performance last week for the 49ers. Mostert carried 12 times for 87 yards at Green Bay, forming a potent rushing duo with Matt Breida. San Francisco ranks third in rushing with 142.5 yards per game and a 5.12 average per carry.FAMILY AFFAIRThe 49ers are hosting alumni weekend and will be wearing 1994 throwback jerseys to honor their last Super Bowl championship team. That team means a lot to McVay, whose grandfather, John, helped build the 49ers dynasty as general manager. Sean McVay listed several of his favorite players from that era, including Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Dexter Carter and Merton Hanks. He also said he had a Deion Sanders jersey from that 1994 season."It's always weird going against them," he said. "But you feel so fortunate just to have the family history my grandpa established and developed."
