Ultimately, the Patriots showed competitiveness against the Rams but their inability to make crucial plays sealed their fate in a 28-22 loss, dropping them to 3-8.
The game highlighted moments such as rookie Javon Baker's impressive 46-yard return early on, which unfortunately didn't translate into points for New England.
Kendrick Bourne, returning from injury, made a significant impact with three receptions for 31 yards, including a touchdown from Drake Maye, marking Bourne's first score since his ACL injury.
A miscalculation in defensive strategy was evident when a zero blitz allowed a 69-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Cooper Kupp, widening the Patriots' deficit.
