The New England Patriots have had just about every issue during the 2023 season.
Tough schedule, poor performances, inconsistent coaching and especially injuries. Ultimately, the Patriots were not going to compete, but these areas have become headlines of the season.
New England already lost Matthew Judon, Marcus Jones and Christian Gonzalez for extended time entering their Week 8 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Not only did the Patriots suffer a 31-17 defeat, but they also lost arguably their best-skill player on offense when Kendrick Bourne tore his ACL later in the game.
With more and more injuries, the Patriots are going to have more young players stepping up to fill roles.
