Despite their five turnovers, which should have been the reason they lost, their defense was able to keep the game within reach until the final minutes of the game, proving that their inability to secure the football is the reason they walk away with another home loss. And the biggest contributor to those turnovers continues to be Rhamondre Stevenson, who many Patriots fans have already declared to want cut from the roster as soon as possible.
Considering how well he played against the Dolphins last week, seeing the running back revert to his rookie ways was not entirely surprising, but certainly not expected, and the Patriots' offense struggled because of it.
