Winners and losers from Patriots Week 4 loss vs. 49ers

The New England Patriots entered Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium as big underdogs, and they dropped the contest, their third in a row, 30-13.

New England had very few good performances, while some position groups struggled mightily on Sunday.

After this loss, let's give some credit to those who deserve it and take a look at who needs to stay after practice on the fields behind Gillette Stadium this week.

WINNER: K Joey Slye
