FOXBOROUGH – The Patriots frittered away a winnable game against the Steelers at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, falling 21-14 despite having almost twice as many yards, nine more first downs, and fewer penalties.
Four fumbles, including two from Rhamondre Stevenson, sealed the Patriots’ fate. A stunning goal line interception from Drake Maye just before halftime also was a factor.
The Patriots did a fair of good things in this game, but not enough to overcome five turnovers.
Here’s a closer look at who stood out and who struggled during the loss.

By halftime, Spillane had racked up 10 tackles, and he eventually brought the number up to 15, including 10 solo tackles.
No. 14 was all over the field, and Aaron Rodgers threw an interception right to him.
