The New England Patriots dropped their eighth loss of the season in Sunday's Week 11 clash with the visiting Los Angeles Rams.
There was no carryover effect for the Patriots' defensive masterpiece against the Chicago Bears last week. The same unit that had nine sacks and 13 quarterback hits on rookie quarterback Caleb Williams didn't register a single sack on Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
That led to the Rams carving up the Patriots' defense for 402 total yards and handing them a 28-22 loss in their home building. It wasn't all bad for New England with at least a couple of standout performances from players.
