Patriots-Chargers takeaways: Pats offense finds new low in shutout loss originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
In many ways, it was fitting that the weather for Sunday's Week 13 game between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium was cold, windy and rainy.
It's been a dismal season for the Patriots, and that misery continued with a 6-0 loss to the Chargers that drops New England's record to 2-10. This matchup was the NFL's lowest-scoring game since 2018.
The Patriots have lost 10 or more games in a season for the first time since 2000, which was head coach Bill Belichick's first year in charge.
