The Patriots’ offense has struggled mightily this season, and quarterback Tom Brady increasingly is unable to mask his frustration as the team enters the final month of the regular season. Fingers have been pointed at the unit as a whole, which was beset by offseason departures and injuries both on the offensive line and at receiver.
The loss of tackle Trent Brown to free agency was supposed to be mitigated by Isaiah Wynn, but the 2018 first-round pick was injured in Week 2, and the Patriots were left scrambling to find a body to protect Brady’s blindside until Wynn returned in Week 12.
