The Patriots lost Sunday to the Rams, but the game did bring the incredible return of defensive tackle Christian Barmore, who made his season debut despite practicing once since being diagnosed with blood clots in July. Barmore played 21 snaps and registered three tackles in the loss.

"We lack execution in some of the critical times in the game that we really need to convert, and that’s what a good football team is,” said the coach.

Jerod Mayo took accountability following the New England Patriots’ 28-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. The Patriots coach made it clear that their 3-8 record isn’t good enough, saying that the buck stops with him.
