1-5 Patriots' morale being tested, but players are focused on improving

LAS VEGAS -- In a shocking turn that few saw coming, the New England Patriots are 1-5 for the first time since 1995, which was Robert Kraft's second year owning the team.

Players were looking within following Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, knowing they've dug themselves into a major hole, sitting in last place in the AFC East with division games against the Buffalo Bills (4-2) and Miami Dolphins (5-1) the next two weeks.

"I think we're all right, man. It's a good test for us," seven-year veteran receiver Kendrick Bourne said.
