Patriots Twitter celebrating ninth loss of season to Giants

Giants Patriots Chad Ryland Mac Jones New England Patriots Robert Kraft NFL the New England Patriots

The spiraling 2023 season for the New England Patriots continued to go down the drain with the team blowing a potential comeback rally on Sunday.

Bailey Zappe, who replaced Mac Jones at quarterback in the second half, led the team on a potential game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter. The game came down to a 35-yard field goal attempt by rookie Chad Ryland, who ended up shanking the kick outside of the goal post.

It was a shockingly bad ending to another pitiful performance from the Patriots this season. If anything, the loss solidified their placement as arguably the worst team in the NFL.

It also solidified the fact that Jones isn’t the right man for the starting quarterback job in New England. Getting outplayed by Tommy DeVito and turning the ball over twice in the first half should be the end of that argument for any Jones diehards still clinging to hope out there.

But none of that matters at this point. The playoffs are out of reach, and the Patriots are in position to land one of the top picks in the 2024 NFL draft.

Oddly enough, that led to a social media celebration from most fans, following the loss to the Giants.
