The New England Patriots and their fan base had a disappointing weekend. What could have been a glorious start to the Mike Vrabel era at Gillette Stadium instead turned into a frustrating 20-13 loss at the hands of Pete Carroll and the Las Vegas Raiders.
New England’s defense left something to be desired, but it was ultimately the offense that let fans down. 13 points in a home opener isn’t going to get it done. Second-year quarterback Drake Maye had a good first half, but he faltered in the second half, ending up 30-for-46 on the day with 287 yards, a touchdown, an interception and an 80.
