Patriots Report Card: Season ends with a Wild Card whimper

Share

After a season that featured a largely-dominant Patriots defense, for the second consecutive week the team couldn't get a stop when it needed one.

It happened on the game's final drive in the regular-season finale, which led to the Patriots playing on Wild Card Weekend.

Then it happened three times on Saturday: Drive No. 1, the final drive of the first half, and the game-winning-slash-clock-killing drive that left the Patriots with little time to attempt a comeback. 

Though the Titans only scored 14 points offensively, the grades for the Patriots defense weren't pretty. Ditto for the offense. When the season ends the way theirs did, hard to have these marks turn out any other way.
