There is no secret to what happened to the 2023 Patriots. This was a bad team undone by poor roster construction, some internal dysfunction and downright terrible quarterback play. Bailey Zappe saved his worst for last in Sunday's snowy season finale, a loss that spotlighted all of the Patriots' shortcomings.
Offensively, the Patriots finished a smidge more explosive and a touch more efficient. Their defense created one fewer turnover, but allowed three fewer trips into the red zone. The Pats' special teams won the field position battle, through Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (4-for-4 on field goals) proved to be far and away the best player on the field in that phase.
They vowed during the offseason to improve one of the NFL’s worst ground games and judging by Friday’s results they sure seem headed in the right direction under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
