Patriots linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley has grossly underperformed this season.
The New England Patriots’ defense has regressed in emphatic fashion this season compared to the dominance it exuded on a weekly basis in 2019. That was obviously to be expected given how many key players left in free agency and opted out prior to the start of training camp.
