Welcome to Week 12 Classes!
It took 23 years as Patriots coach, but it appears Bill Belichick has finally hit rock bottom in the NFL. The “Patriot Way” is now the “Wrong Way.” The Patriots suffered one of the most embarrassing losses of Week 12 with a 10-7 setback against the Giants.
If you’re wondering how bad things have gotten, here’s a little taste:
- They became the first NFL team in 30 years to lose two games in a row despite giving up 10 or fewer points in each game.
- Belichick has now lost two straight games when his team allowed 10 or fewer points. Before this season, Belichick had lost just two such games in 28 seasons as a head coach.
- NFL teams are 49-2 when allowing 10 or fewer points this season, which breaks down like this: The Patriots are 1-2 while the rest of the league is 48-0.
Like I said, it was ugly.
With that in mind, let’s get to the Week 12 grades, starting with the Patriots’ loss (If you want to see the grades for the Thanksgiving games and Black Friday game, be sure to click here).
