It may be sagging a bit, but the sky isn’t falling in Foxborough.
Collecting back-to-back double digit losses for the first time since a forgettable 2002 season certainly stings a bit — and it should. Tallying just 209 yards and 10 points on 47 plays against a Detroit defense — a unit that, in the previous two weeks, allowed a combined 78 points to the Jets and 49ers, and was without its best pass rusher on Sunday — fails to inspire even a modicum of confidence.
There is no shortage of deserved criticism that could (and will) be doled out following a debacle like Sunday night’s performance at Ford Field.
