Bill Belichick's latest comments make Kendrick Bourne situation even more puzzling

Kendrick Bourne made the New England Patriots' best offensive play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, hauling in a 41-pass from quarterback Mac Jones in the fourth quarter. Considering he averaged a team-high 14.5 yards per reception last season (55 catches for 800 yards), that's not surprising.

What is surprising is that Bourne played just two offensive snaps all game and didn't see the field until the fourth quarter of Sunday's 20-7 loss.

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer recently reported that Bourne has been among the players questioning the Patriots' offensive changes internally, and the veteran wide receiver also had a rough preseason.
