The Patriots once again started the game like the kickoff was at 8:05 and not 4:05. After sleepwalking through another poor effort in the first half down 13-3, they finally woke up in the second half. But, like so many games before this year, and at the end of 2022, they were so close to winning but played just well enough to lose closely.
With the exception of the Jets game, the Patriots have dug themselves into an early hole and, after self-immolation, find themselves in too deep a hole to climb out of.
Week 1: 16-0 against Philly.
