Misery Index · Despair
Patriots fans cataloging five turnovers, a 3-15 home record, and the exact moment R.Stevenson became unforgivable.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Maye found H.Henry to open the fourth and briefly made this feel winnable, then the ball hit the ground again — sacked-and-stripped by N.Herbig, recovered by T.Watt, and that was the margin. Five giveaways, including R.Stevenson coughing it up at the 1, and the defense still gave the offense a two-minute chance to tie. Home games keep ending this way, and at some point that stops being variance.
