It was bound to happen after experiencing a 20-year run of dominance, but the New England Patriots have essentially hit rock bottom.
The unfortunate reality? It doesn’t look like they’re done digging.
New England is going nowhere fast, sitting with a 1-5 record following their Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. The likelihood of a bounce back doesn’t seem strong, either, as there have been only three teams in NFL history to make the postseason after starting so poorly. Bill Belichick’s decision making becomes easier to question by the week, injuries are piling up like student loan notices, the offensive line is a mess and we have to wonder every week whether or not Mac Jones is going to keep his job.
