The New England Patriots faced a frustrating 28-22 defeat against the Los Angeles Rams, with execution issues highlighted by rookie quarterback Drake Maye's mistakes. Despite showing promise statistically, Maye's errors, including a strip-sack and a critical interception, sealed the team's fate.

Coach Jerod Mayo remains optimistic about the team's talent, insisting that personnel isn't the issue. The offensive line showed improvement, but the defense struggled without key players, failing to secure a sack during the game.
