Not a whole lot went right for the Patriots during Saturday’s 40-7 loss to the Chargers.
Beyond what can be discerned from a lopsided score, Drake Maye was temporally knocked out of the game with a head injury — with New England’s offense limited to 181 total yards and just 11 first downs.
New England’s defense was completely splintered by Justin Herbert and rookie wideout Ladd McConkey. The Chargers gained 428 total yards of offense, 29 first downs, and moved the chains on 59 percent of their third-down conversions.
McConkey, who was drafted by Los Angeles with a second-round pick originally held by the Patriots — reeled in two touchdown catches against New England.
