Patriots' Struggles Continue with 6th Straight Loss

The New England Patriots are experiencing a tumultuous season, with their recent 32-16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars marking their sixth consecutive defeat. Criticism has been fierce, particularly from sports commentator Bill Simmons, who has labeled the current team as the worst-coached since Rod Rust's infamous 1990 season. Head coach Jerod Mayo has admitted the team is 'playing soft,' which was evident in their inability to stop the Jaguars' rushing attack, led by Tank Bigsby, who ran for 118 yards and two touchdowns. Despite rookie quarterback Drake Maye's solid performance, the Patriots' overall execution was marred by penalties and defensive lapses, raising concerns about their competitiveness. With a current record of 1-6, the Patriots are at risk of finishing the season with one of the worst records in franchise history.
