Welcome to the Week 5 grades!
For the second straight week, the winner of the ugliest loss award goes to the New England Patriots. It’s hard to put into perspective how ugly this loss was for New England, but we’re going to try and do it anyway. The Patriots’ 34-0 setback to the Saints was:
- Largest home shutout loss in Patriots history
- The first back-to-back 30-point losses for Patriots since 1970
- Second-largest loss of Bill Belichick’s career (largest was last week against the Cowboys)
- Largest shutout loss AND largest home loss of Belichick’s career
Also, the Patriots have now been outscored 72-3 in their last two games. In news that probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone, the Patriots are getting an ‘F’ this week. However, the Patriots weren’t the only team to get an ‘F.’ The Cowboys also got one after getting destroyed on “Sunday Night Football.”
With that in mind, let’s get to the grades starting with Monday’s game between the Packers and Raiders.
