The New England Patriots are facing mounting challenges as they head into their Week 4 clash against the San Francisco 49ers, having already lost two consecutive games.
Key injuries to offensive linemen Vederian Lowe and Michael Jordan, along with cornerback Alex Austin, could severely impact the team's performance on the field. Although guard Sidy Sowe might return, significant concerns linger about the effectiveness of the offensive line against a strong 49ers pass rush.
New England's struggles are exacerbated by a disappointing offensive showing, particularly with quarterback Jacoby Brissett at the helm. Fans are left disheartened as the team, once seen as a potential dark horse, appears to be amongst the league's least competitive this season.
