New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel had no use in sugar-coating the abysmal performance his team had in Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Nothing looked good for the Patriots.
The offense turned the ball over four times, including three interceptions thrown by quarterback Drake Maye. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson also lost a fumble in the game. On the other side, the Patriots' defense failed to generate any turnovers, and Packers quarterback Jordan Love lit them up for 372 passing yards and three touchdowns. It was the worst defensive performance of the season.
"We got our asses kicked. There's no way around it," Vrabel said after the game.

The scariest
part for the Patriots are the injuries.
They came into the game already missing multiple starters and left with even more injured players to add to the list. Rhamondre Stevenson, Will Campbell, Ben Brown and Carlton Davis III all suffered injuries in the game. It creates potential long-term issues for a Patriots team hoping to contend for a playoff spot this season.
That hope dwindles with each passing week, as the team struggles to piece together the vision of what they thought they'd be before the season started.
