Rhamondre Stevenson was expected to be a reliable asset for the New England Patriots this season after a strong performance last year, but he has struggled with ball security, fumbling in four consecutive games. Coach Jerod Mayo emphasized the importance of improving ball security for the team’s success.

Despite Stevenson's issues, special teams shone with Joey Slye setting a franchise record with a 63-yard field goal. However, the offensive line remains a significant concern, with multiple injuries impacting performance.
