Godchaux Criticizes Patriots' Defensive Selfishness

The New England Patriots' defense has faced significant challenges this season, with veteran defensive tackle Davon Godchaux criticizing teammates for being 'selfish' and not adhering to their assignments. The defense, which was highly ranked last season, has allowed an average of 21.8 points and 353.3 yards per game, contributing to the team's struggles. Injuries to key players like Christian Barmore and Ja'Whaun Bentley, as well as the trade of edge rusher Matthew Judon, have exacerbated the situation. Godchaux emphasized the need for the defense to play cohesively as a unit, rather than individuals trying to make big plays. The Patriots have lost three consecutive games and are struggling on both sides of the ball, highlighting the urgency for a turnaround. The team hopes to rebound against the Miami Dolphins in their upcoming game.
