Dysfunction creeping in as Patriots, Mac Jones flail again in loss to Commanders
New York TimesThe Athletic has live coverage of Patriots vs Steelers on Thursday Night Football. The Patriots aren’t just bad, they aren’t just 2-7 for the first time in 23 years, they aren’t just leaving an apathy within the fan base, and they’re not just a team that lost 20-17 to a middling Washington Commanders bunch that traded away its two best players on Tuesday. “When you’re 2-7, everything is concerning,” said wide receiver Matthew Slater, the team’s longest-tenured and most-respected player. Patriots cornerback Jack Jones, defending Antonio Gibson, joined Sunday’s game after sitting out the first two drives. The problem for the Patriots is that there’s so much blame to go around for games like Sunday’s, it’s difficult to pick just one place to start.
