For New England Patriots fans of a certain age, the two-decade run of on-field success the team enjoyed with Tom Brady at the helm was to be savored, particularly since the franchise's history pre-Brady didn't offer much in the way of major victories.
Younger fans, however, may be getting a sense of what their grandfathers and mothers are talking about when they recall the mediocre-at-best Patriots of years ago — because right now, the team is looking to be just that.
New England is 0-2 for the first time since 2001 after losing at home to the Dolphins last Sunday night.
