The New England Patriots, 1-3 after the first month of football, are a tough watch this season due to their intense offensive struggles. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett has done his best but the team's offensive line and wide receiving groups are so barren of talent the offense struggles to function at even a league-average level. One player who was expected to shine despite all that was running back Rhamondre Stevenson, a talented dual-threat two years removed from a 1,000-yard season on the ground.
Unfortunately for New England, Stevenson came into 2024 with a case of the butterfingers. The running back has fumbled four times in the opening four games of the season, matching his previous single-season career high. On Wednesday, head coach Jerod Mayo was asked if the team would consider benching Stevenson in light of his ball security issues and surprisingly he said yes.
