The New England Patriots offered another frustrating outing on Sunday in a 20-17 loss to the Washington Commanders to fall to 2-7 on the season.
If any hope for the season remained, the Patriots lost it when the Commanders sealed the game with a tipped-ball interception against Mac Jones and New England.
The Patriots now maintain the worst record in the AFC and will have plenty of work to do this offseason to start a lengthy road back to contention.
Three-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman took to social media to effectively show his assessment that the Patriots’ season of playing competitive football had come to an end.
