Mac Jones has struggled to take command of the offense, while everything around him seems to be just as big of a mess. The Patriots’ only win of the season was an ugly 15-10 win over the Jets where the offense was again brutal. That unit is somehow worse than it was a year ago when Matt Patricia was running it, and that did not seem possible.
It is really difficult to be held to only three points or less in an NFL game in 2023, and to have that happen two weeks in a row is a staggering display of offensive incompetence. The Patriots have are coming off the two worst losses of the Belichick era in back-to-back weeks, losing 38-3 to Dallas two weeks and then getting shut out by the New Orleans Saints this past week.
