The Los Angeles Chargers absolutely wrecked the New England Patriots on Saturday afternoon, a 40–7 rout that Pats fans were likely not shocked by at all. New England, now 3–13, has had an incredibly rough year, with the only silver lining being the promise of fledgling quarterback Drake Maye and the continuing possibility that the team earns the No. 1 draft pick next year. The loss is extra disappointing after New England played a surprisingly close game against Buffalo last week.
Speaking after the contest on Saturday, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo gave a brutally honest assessment of the blowout. "Really nothing good to take out of that game today," Mayo told reporters. "We just didn't play well enough in any phase of the game. No complementary football, that's what you get."
