The Patriots won their second straight game Sunday. That’s the good news. The bad news is the offense looked horrific, and as Tom E. Curran writes, there may not be an easy fix.

But it can’t look like. The Patriots had one touchdown drive yesterday. It was 2 yards. They also had one touchdown drive against the Jets. It was 62 yards.

To see Jones now -- squirrely, indecisive, leery of getting blasted and with his feet pattering around -- it’s not the same player. The Patriots -- regardless of how complicit they are in setting him back with a system, terminology, philosophical and coaching change -- seem to see the same thing. They didn’t take settling for the field goal on that drive as an indignity. It was an acceptable minor victory.

The Patriots had 16 scoring drives. The touchdown drives were 32, 75, 75, 62 and 2 yards respectively.Percent of Jones' last 40 drives that have been five plays or fewer and resulted in a FG, punt or turnoverThey’ve had 17 drives of five plays or fewer that ended with a punt or a turnover.
