Oh my goodness, the Patriots ...
The crossbar secures an important victory for the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL. Without their star Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals lose again. The New England Patriots' woes continue. Quarterback Mac Jones is once again punished by his coach.
The New England Patriots can't find a way out of the crisis in the NFL. Coach Bill Belichick's team lost 7:10 at the New York Giants and conceded their ninth defeat in eleven games. Once again the offense came to a standstill - the only touchdown was scored by running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who carried the ball into the end zone.
As in the extremely dismal performance in the NFL game in Frankfurt (6:10 against the Indianapolis Colts), Belichick took his weak quarterback Mac Jones off the field, who had thrown the ball into the arms of an opponent twice. Things got a little better with Bailey Zappe, but the replacement also made an interception. Despite all the difficulties, kicker Chad Ryland could have equalized with five seconds left, but his field goal attempt from 35 yards missed by a wide margin. Oh my god, the Patriots ...
Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars with playmaker Trevor Lawrence won the important duel with the Houston Texans and consolidated first place in the AFC South. The 24-21 win means the Jaguars now have eight wins and four defeats, giving them a good cushion on the chasing pack in the battle for play-off tickets. A field goal attempt from 58 yards hit the crossbar with seconds remaining, meaning the Texans missed out on the equalizer. Like the Indianapolis Colts, the team led by young quarterback CJ Stroud has six wins and five defeats with six games left. The Colts won 27:20 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Meanwhile, without injured quarterback Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals suffered their third defeat in a row, losing 10-16 to the division rivals Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals remain last in the AFC North, while the Steelers are in touch with the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.
The Patriots' struggles in the NFL continue, with yet another loss adding to their woes. Despite Mac Jones' mistakes, American Football fans eagerly watch to see if they can turn things around.
