Nothing went right for the Patriots on Sunday afternoon in South Beach.
New England didn’t stand a chance trying to stop Miami’s electrifying passing offense at Hard Rock Stadium. The Patriots also didn’t even flirt with turning the game into a shootout, as Drake Maye and company couldn’t get anything going in Week 12.
Desperate for a spark near the midway point of the third quarter, New England dug deep into its bag of tricks down 24-0. The Patriots tried to move the chains on a third-and-17 near midfield, where Drake Maye threw a backward pass to Kendrick Bourne, who tried to zip the football back to the other side of the field.
