The future looks bright for the New England Patriots’ offense. But that promise hasn’t translated to points thus far.
The Patriots have played four games this season. In those, their Mac Jones-led offense generated 16, 25, 13 and 19 points. Only the Houston Texans, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins and New York Jets have averaged fewer points per game.
When failing to reach the 20-point plateau, New England is 0-3, spoiling three strong (albeit occasionally uneven) performances by its defense.
The Patriots showed improvement in some areas during Sunday night’s 19-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
