The New England Patriots suffered their most lopsided loss of the season when falling to the Los Angeles Chargers 40-7 at Gillette Stadium on Saturday.
They dropped to 3-13 on the year in a game that highlighted just how far the franchise has fallen since Bill Belichick's departure. Despite rookie quarterback Drake Maye continuing to show glimpses of potential, the team as a whole looked lost.
There were glaring issues on both sides of the ball in a matchup where the Patriots were dominated at every phase. That was the kind of loss that opened the floodgates on even more questions surrounding the leadership of head coach Jerod Mayo.
