New England Patriots need Josh Gordon to be a factor in Week 4

Through three weeks, the New England Patriots have not gotten off to the start that they would have liked. After a nice victory at home against the Houston Texans, the Patriots have lost back-to-back games for the first time since 2015.

In the two losses, the Patriots have not looked good on offense. Coming into the season, many believed that after trading Brandin Cooks and losing Danny Amendola in free agency that the team simply didn’t have enough talent at wide receiver.

So far through three games, that is looking to be the case. While they are still without Julian Edelman due to his suspension, the passing offense has not been nearly as effective as we have seen in recent years.
