The New England Patriots fell to 2-9 on the season after an avoidable 10-7 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday.
In the defeat, quarterbacks Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe each led ineffective performances, combining for three interceptions in an offense that tallied just seven points. Rhamondre Stevenson’s rushing touchdown marked the only score of the day for the Patriots.
Despite the defense allowing just 20 points over the last two games, the offense has scored just 13 of their own to stretch a brutal losing streak to four games.
In understandable fashion, the improving New England defense knows that it can only do so much to attempt to create a win.
