It’s tough to live up to the expectations of New England Patriots fans after two decades of unprecedented success with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick at the helm.
So, when the 2020 season began, many thought the Patriots could be a borderline playoff team, even though the team clearly lacked talent at many key positions.
Those who tempered their predictions knew that New England would be closer to the first overall pick than the Super Bowl, and that’s exactly where they ended. Their 7-9 record was enough to earn them the 15th overall pick in the draft, the highest the team has drafted since 2008 when they drafted Jerod Mayo who is now on the coaching staff.
Any season that finishes with more losses than wins has to have some things that went wrong, and, in the Patriots’ case, that list could go on and on. So, just to keep it simple, these are five of the most disappointing Patriots from this past season.
