It’s never a good look when an offensive lineman gets more targets than one of your wide receivers.
But that’s the predicament New England Patriots wideout Ja’Lynn Polk found himself in Sunday.
Polk’s turbulent rookie season continued in a 28-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at Gillette Stadium as the second-round pick didn’t see one pass from quarterback Drake Maye come his way. Eight other pass-catchers recorded at least one catch for the Patriots, including offensive tackle Vederian Lowe coming up with a 4-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter.
Polk also committed a false start penalty late in the fourth quarter with the offense on the field for a fourth down deep in Rams territory.
