Moreover, running back James White, a team captain, missed his second game since the death of his father in a car accident in which his mother was also a passenger. The Patriots were playing without starting center David Andrews, who is sidelined with a thumb injury. Other parts of the offensive line were rearranged as well, including considerable playing time for the rookie Justin Herron at tackle. “The offensive line, we had some moving parts in there — shuffled things around a little bit,” Patriots Coach Bill Belichick said. A 1-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr to tight end Foster Moreau cut the Patriots’ lead to 13-10 with six seconds left in the half.
