Meet Jimmy Garoppolo and Meet The Garoppolo’s Before Tonight’s Patriots – Cardinals Game

New England Patriots media traveled to Arlington Heights, Illinois to meet Jimmy Garoppolo’s family and learn more about the Patriots quarterback from the people who know him best (Oct. 21 2015).

Patriots vs. Cardinals Tonight
New England (12-4 last year) at Arizona (13-3). This is a matchup of the two teams that were one win short of playing in the Super Bowl last year’s 2015-2016 season. The Patriots led the AFC in scoring, while the Arizona Cardinals finished first in total offense.

Tonight’s game is on Sunday Night Football on NBC at 7:20 p.m . CDT.

“Jimmy G is being asked to command the SS Belichick while Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback of his generation, begins serving a four-game suspension for his ambiguous role in the interminable, litigious, and abjectly stupid drama known as Deflategate … It’s a lot of pressure and eyeballs on a kid from Illinois with an empty résumé and the full attention of Patriot Nation and NFL America.
