Yet again, it was an ugly loss for the New England Patriots on Sunday.
They have now lost six straight games, following their 32-16 Week 7 loss in London at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Drake Maye, Bryce Baringer, Hunter Henry and JaMycal Hasty were the lone bright spots in the loss, and it is beginning to get frustrating for Patriots fans.
The thought was that moving on from Bill Belichick would improve the overall outlook and help modernize the offense. And frankly, it has done exactly that for the Patriots. However, no one could have predicted the defense would fall off this much, especially with the majority of the core players and coaches returning.
