The New England Patriots, after losing their first game after the bye week, fell again on Sunday, this time to the Buffalo Bills, 24-21 at Highmark Stadium.

Jerod Mayo's team has been tough to watch in all three phases this year. Each unit has a talented player or two to build around for the future, but with how the season has gone, it wouldn't be a bad idea to change out most of the group.

At this point, New England is in last place in the AFC East with a 3-12 record and has lost five contests in a row.
