How ‘Mental Toughness’ Helped Patriots Solve One Major Problem In Week 4

The New England Patriots failed for a third straight time to jump back in the win column, this time against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4, but the 30-13 defeat wasn't a complete dud -- although it dropped the AFC underdogs to a division-worst 1-3.

New England watched as starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett, again, struggled to get the offense going while also being sacked six times by San Francisco's defense. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson, again, fumbled to give the 26-year-old four thus far, the same total Stevenson logged in his first three NFL seasons combined.
