Week 14: Los Angeles Rams 24, New England Patriots 3 (6-7) (Thursday, December 10, 2020)
The Patriots aren't mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, but with only a four percent chance of making it, realistically? They are. Disappointing, as it would've been the 12th straight season of making 'em.
It was the usual suspects: an offense that couldn't score in the red zone, and a defense that was trick-or-treat (a condition only good on Halloween). Special teams did their job, but you can't win in the NFL on special teams every week. You've got to move the ball offensively and stop the other guys from moving it.
Tom and the Bucs won their game, so they are definitely in the mix for a wild card.
The Patriots, Dolphins and Jets lost (don't they always?), and the Bills won.
Next week: the Pats are down in Miami!
