Of great concern to gamblers was the poor start by the New England Patriots. The same plodding offense has carried over from the past few NFL odds seasons. New offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien needs time to get his system in sync. But there are legitimate questions about the Patriots’ personnel not having the ability to make plays. If the problems continue, head coach Bill Belichick could face increased fire. At some point, nobody is safe from perpetual loss. The thought of the Hoodie getting canned is no longer a pipe dream.

Namely, Mac Jones and the New England Patriots were off to a frustrating start to the season. New England fell painfully short of victories in their first two games.

In comparison, Matt Judon had a late safety. Hence, the Patriots extended their winning streak over the New York Jets to 15 games with an ugly win.
Overall, Jones finished 15 of 29 for 201 yards. Ezekiel Elliott ran for 80 yards on 16 carries. And then Rhamondre Stevenson had 59 yards on 19 carries. Overall, the Patriots played clean football on an otherwise sloppy day.
