After dominating the NFL for almost two decades, the New England Patriots They are in one of their worst times. Today more than ever, the team is suffering from the absence of its main star, Tom Brady.
The Patriots were routed 34-0 at home by New Orleans. Seeing the ‘Pats’ finish a game without points in favor is not something every day, in fact, the last time this happened was seven years ago. In fact, from 2003 to date the team has only been shut out four times, taking into account this Sunday.
Saints won easily with two touchdown passes from Derek Carr, an interception return from Tyrann Mathieu, a run from Alvin Kamara and two field goals from Blake Grupe.
When were the Patriots last shut out?
You have to go back to the fourth week of the 2016 season to see the last time New England finished a game without a point. That time the team lost 16-0 to Buffalo. On that occasion Tom Brady did not play, in fact he did not appear in the first four games due to being suspended for the deflated balls case.
Since Bill Belichick He joined the organization in 2000, it is only the fourth time that the Patriots have been shut out, the others occurring in 2003, 2006 and the aforementioned 2016.
Taking into account the previous match against Dallasthe Patriots have barely scored three points and that is already alarming.
