Patriots bottom out in NFL power rankings heading into Week 10

The New England Patriots haven't played good football through their first nine weeks of the season, starting Jerod Mayo's tenure as head coach with a 2-7 record.

On Sunday, New England suffered a 20-17 overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans at Gillette Stadium after scoring a game-tying touchdown with no time left in regulation.

Every week, Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer has been releasing NFL power rankings, and after the Patriots climbed up to No. 29 heading into Week 9, they've fallen to dead last at No. 32.

Here's what Iyer said this week:

"The Patriots look like they have a keeper at quarterback in Drake Maye, as his big plays with his arm and legs are bound to outweigh his tough mistakes in not too long.
