Julian Edelman is responsible for some of the finest performances by a receiver in Patriots history. He’s authored far more incredible moments than forgettable ones.
However, Monday night was a tough evening for New England’s veteran wideout.
Edelman hauled in three catches for 35 yards in his team’s frustrating loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. He also committed two drops, one of which was intercepted and returned for a touchdown in the fourth quarter with the Patriots trailing by nine.
The drops — more than any receiver in the league since the start of last season — have become a theme for Edelman, as has the 34-year-old looking generally hurt and, well, 34 years old.
