What happened: New England allowed 45 points in its 45-27 home loss to Green Bay on Sunday, the most surrendered in a home game since 1970, when Buffalo also scored 45. Players are off Monday on an altered schedule because of a mid-week trip to Germany, per ESPN's Mike Reiss. Coach Mike Vrabel speaks at 11:30 a.m.
Why it matters: The loss dropped the Patriots to 5-4 and the No. 7 seed in the AFC. Drake Maye's 11 interceptions are the most by a Patriot through the first nine games since Drew Bledsoe threw 18 in 1994.
By the numbers: Maye has completed 157 of 234 passes for 1,983 yards with 15 touchdowns and 8 interceptions in 2026 through 8 games.
What to watch: Vrabel's 11:30 a.m. press conference is next, before the team's trip to Germany.
