The Patriots’ ten-game winning streak came to an end, and perhaps the worst part about that wasn’t that the winning streak ended (they all do), but how it ended.
After racing out to a 21-0 lead and up 24-7 at the break, they collapsed in the second half where the defense was manhandled at the line of scrimmage, and the offense stalled.
The result was a 35-31 loss where they lost an opportunity to clinch the AFC East. While they still lead the division, if they clinch the division, it will probably have to wait until Week 18 against the Dolphins.
