Patriots

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.
