The Patriots are back home for the final two weeks of the 2024 season as they look to close the year on a high note.

Here’s everything we know from the Patriots’ Week 17 loss: No answer for Ladd McConkey: The Patriots had no answers defensively for Chargers star rookie receiver Ladd McConkey, who torched them for 96 receiving yards and two touchdowns. There were multiple breakdowns in communication in the secondary that led to big plays for McConkey.

Speaking after the contest on Saturday, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo gave a brutally honest assessment of the blowout. "Really nothing good to take out of that game today," Mayo told reporters. "We just didn't play well enough in any phase of the game. No complementary football, that's what you get."
