Week 12 Patriots Power Rankings: No streaking allowed! Maye the real deal, but team can't stack wins
Briefly

"Growing pains sure can be painful to go through and we're all stuck right in the middle of it. The game was close and the Patriots would have had a better chance to win without the sloppiness and penalties that have plagued this team all season long."
"The experts pretty much kept the Patriots ranked 25th, the same as last week. The difference between New England and the bottom-dwellers is the optimism of having a young quarterback to build around in the coming years."
"As for the six remaining games, beginning with the 4-6 Dolphins in Miami this week, there's still plenty of positives to watch for. Drake Maye and the development of the young players plus the coaching and whether the team can clean up their penalties and undisciplined play."
"The next question is, do they have the right front office in place to get them there? Jerod Mayo and DeMarcus Covington have had their first-year growing pains. How will Eliot Wolf and Matt Groh be evaluated?"
