3 Biggest overreactions from Patriots’ preseason loss to Texans

What are some of the biggest overreactions to the Patriots’ preseason loss?

Not everything went according to plan for the New England Patriots in Thursday’s preseason opener with the Houston Texans. The offense sputtered in the early-going, and the defensive reserves gave up too many plays down the stretch in the 20-9 loss.

It wasn’t the best of showings from a team that was already on thin ice with a fan base that watched them close out the 2022 season with a losing record and a failed playoff berth.

The sense of urgency has also been amplified by the arms race currently happening in a much-improved AFC East division. An argument could be made that the Patriots are falling behind fast and hard. Of course, there’s also a dramatic element to how the team is being picked apart and judged on the heels of only one preseason game, too.

Let’s take a look at three of the biggest overreactions for the Patriots, following Thursday’s loss to the Texans.
