Misery Index · Miserable
Patriots fans toasting a 14-3 season while quietly admitting the o-line no-showed the one Super Bowl they'll get.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
K.Walker gashed this defense for 30 and 29 on back-to-back drives in the second quarter, and somehow that wasn't even the worst of it — D.Maye getting strip-sacked by D.Hall to open the third quarter turned a manageable deficit into a tombstone. The defense, C.Gonzalez especially, did enough to keep this within reach. The offense and the line in front of D.Maye did not, and a season that promised more ends with 13 points at home.
