Of all teams, the New England Patriots shouldn't panic too much about what happens in the preseason. They don't even panic over what happens in September most seasons.
But for a team that has been under a lot of scrutiny for its offensive struggles with questionable coordinator decisions, Friday night was a bit alarming.
The Patriots played most of their starters in the preseason finale at the Las Vegas Raiders. Mac Jones, DeVante Parker and Hunter Henry were among those taking snaps. They played against a Raiders defense that didn't use one locked-in starter.
