Welcome to the Week 12 grades! After 23 years as Patriots coach, it seems that Bill Belichick has finally reached the lowest point in the NFL. The “Patriot Way” has now become the “Wrong Way.” The Patriots suffered a humiliating 10-7 loss to the Giants in Week 12, marking one of the most embarrassing defeats of the season. To put it into perspective, they became the first NFL team in 30 years to lose back-to-back games while allowing 10 or fewer points in each game. Belichick has now lost two straight games when his team allowed 10 or fewer points, a stark contrast to his previous track record. This season, NFL teams are 49-2 when allowing 10 or fewer points, with the Patriots accounting for one of those losses, making it evident that things have not been going well.
Now, let’s move on to the grades for Week 12. Here’s a look at the games and their grades:
