Quick-hit takeaways from Patriots' disheartening loss to Cardinals

The New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals met on Sunday afternoon at State Farm Stadium, and Jerod Mayo's team was handed a 30-17 loss.

New England's defeat, their fourth in a row, drops them to 3-11 through the first 15 weeks of the season, and they've already been eliminated from postseason contention.

Arziona's victory brought them to 7-7 on the year and moved them up in the NFC standings to the ninth seed. They're still two games out of the final playoff spot in the conference, and with just three weeks left, they'll need some help.
