Welcome to the Unconventional Review, an instant reaction to standouts, stats, and storylines from the Patriots’ most recent game . . .
The Patriots won’t play a more entertaining game this season. And they won’t lose a game they needed to win in a more crushing way.
The Patriots, 2-4 but among the league leaders in utterly useless moral victories, fell in overtime to the Cowboys, 35-29. Dak Prescott threw for 445 yards, the most ever dropped on a Bill Belichick defense, and found electrifying receiver CeeDee Lamb for the winning touchdown.
The Patriots had to have it.
