The New England Patriots returned from a two-game trip to Los Angeles after a dominant win over the Chargers and an equally woeful loss to the Rams. The same week that Tom Brady said he never plans on returning to the cold of the Northeast, in all likelihood, the Patriots won’t be returning to the playoffs this year either. Sitting at third in the AFC with a record of 6-7, the Patriots are on the outside of the playoff picture looking in. However, this doesn’t mean there isn’t anything for the Patriots to be playing for in their final three matchups.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots came away with an upset victory Sunday night against the AFC rival Baltimore Ravens. The Patriots came into the primetime matchup as heavy underdogs but thanks to a quality game plan and a little help from Mother Nature they shocked Baltimore 23-17.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The New England Patriots earned a hard-fought and much-needed win against the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. The Patriots overcame a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to take home their third win of the season by a final of 30-27.

The New England Patriots were handed one of the worst losses in the Bill Belichick era by the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The Patriots' third straight loss was an outright disaster with the Niners cruising to a 33-6 victory. It’s hard to find anything the Patriots did well in this game. The defense was sieve-like, the offense was downright awful, and the coaching left much to be desired.
