Patriots Week 11 Report Card In Crushing Loss to Houston

Patriots Fail on Key Opportunity to Build Momentum

Failure. It describes the team aspect of the entire flat-out failure that was the game in Houston. This was an eminently winnable game but the fourth time this year, the Patriots failed at crunch time. But like a few of the other examples, this game was lost long before Cam Newton’s Hail Mary fell short.

The Patriots were supposed to be better than Houston but in the end, they were/are not. Forget that the only team they beat was Jacksonville. Deshaun Watson had played them extremely well in his earlier starts but on Sunday, he looked like a magician.
