The New England Patriots struggled mightily to do anything against the Denver Broncos in Week 6. Running the ball, passing the ball and stopping Drew Lock all seemed to be impossible feats for Bill Belichick’s team.
New England rushed for less than 50 yards through the first three quarters of the game and they had less than 120 passing yards. One of the key things that slowed down the Patriots was the struggling offensive line. They had to make a ton of adjustments before the game to make up for injury and COVID-19 complications.
It led to two interceptions from Cam Newton, and the second one really left a bitter taste for Patriots fans.
Here’s the first interception.

And, here’s how fans reacted.
You wonder whether the all the people who were so excited to compare the job Cam Newton was doing as Patriot QB to Tom Brady (ignoring that Brady is 43 at that), will tell the ugly truth of the story. Cam is a turnover machine who can't throw, the Pats have 3 pts and 3TOs v Den.

Another interception for Cam Newton.
