The New England Patriots lost to the New Orleans Saints by a 34-0 margin on Sunday.
New England looked completely outmatched in the game and dropped their second loss in a row. This was also their fourth loss on the season. The 1-4 start is their worst start since the 2000 season.
Buy Patriots TicketsQuarterback Mac Jones was benched for Bailey Zappe for the second week in a row. The defense struggled as well, as running back Alvin Kamara had his way with the New England defense on the ground, rushing for 80 yards and a touchdown. It was a difficult game all around for a team still struggling to find its identity.
There were plenty of reactions on Twitter following the loss. Here are some of the best:
This may be the worst team in NFL history

The Kraft family needs to step in and make some big changes in New England. The #Patriots have hit rock bottom under Belichick.

The answer is: "Worst implosion in modern day NFL football."
Q: Who are your New England Patriots.
Pitiful.

The Patriots are easily the worst NFL team this season. New England should be happy that #1 pick coming to New England! Sadly Bill going to draft someone who won’t live up to the hype.
