Patriots Suffer Heavy Loss to Chargers

The New England Patriots suffered a humiliating 40-7 defeat against the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium, marking their largest loss of the season and extending their losing streak to six games. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye struggled throughout the match, completing 12 of 22 passes for 117 yards and one touchdown, but also lost a fumble after a failed backward pitch. Meanwhile, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert excelled, throwing for 281 yards and three touchdowns as the Chargers outgained the Patriots 428 to 176. Patriots fans expressed their frustration, chanting 'Fire Mayo' in reference to head coach Jerod Mayo as the team's performance deteriorated.
