New England Patriots
Mac Jones, the highly criticized starting quarterback, has only thrown five touchdown passes and six interceptions thus far. Kendrick Bourne and Hunter Henry are the most productive skill position players with 18 and 14 receptions respectively, both averaging 43.6 and 35.2 yards per game respectively. Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott have one touchdown between them from the backfield and it has been hard to move the ball with just two takeaways on the season. Coming off an injury-ridden week, the Patriots are without LB Matthew Judon and CB Christian Gonzalez while WR Demario Douglas, WR Juju Smith-Schuster, OT Riley Reiff, OT Trent Brown, CB Jonathan Jones, and S Kyle Dugger are questionable. Over the past eight quarters, the New England Patriots have been outscored 72-3, recently suffering a 38-3 defeat at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys, and a 34-0 loss against the New Orleans Saints. This has resulted in the Patriots having the worst scoring offense in the NFL, with an average of 11 points per game. The only win for the Patriots this season was against the Jets in Week 3. Power Ranking: 28 Offense Ranking: 32 Defense Ranking: 25 Record: 1-4 (1-4 ATS) Mac Jones has been the source of criticism, with five touchdowns and six interceptions throughout five games. His QBR is 26th in the NFL (40.2). The most productive players in the Patriots' offense this season have been Kendrick Bourne and Hunter Henry with 18 and 14 receptions respectively. Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott have combined for one touchdown on the season from the backfield. With only two takeaways on the season, the fewest in the NFL, it has been difficult for New England to score. Injuries have further compounded their woes and the Patriots are without LB Matthew Judon and CB Christian Gonzalez this week. WR Demario Douglas, WR Juju Smith-Schuster, OT Riley Reiff, OT Trent Brown, CB Jonathan Jones, and S Kyle Dugger are questionable. To turn their season of misfortune around, the Patriots must secure more offensive power.
