Davon Godchaux complains about Patriots’ lack of pride in ‘embarrassing’ defensive performance

A Drake Maye-led New England Patriots’ offense scored a season-high 21 points on Sunday. According to defensive veteran Davon Godchaux, that should have been enough for New England to leave Gillette Stadium Sunday victorious.

“Even if you think we out the game, the offense gave us 21 points,” Godchaux said at his locker post game. “Usually our defense, the standard, the opposite offense doesn’t score 21 points.”

The opposite occurred, as New England allowed 349 yards to C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans’ offense en route to a 41-21 victory. That performance included 192 yards on the ground, marking the fourth straight game New England has allowed over 130 rushing yards.
