The New England Patriots currently are on the outside looking in when it comes to the AFC playoff picture, posting a 2-3 record thus far in their first season of the post Tom Brady era.
Sure, we’re less than halfway through the 2020 season. But New England’s 18-12 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday at Gillette Stadium was about as ugly as it gets.
So, are the Patriots really in jeopardy of missing the postseason for the first time since 2008, when they still went 11-5 with Matt Cassel at the helm following Brady’s season-ending ACL tear in Week 1?
