One play does not a loss make, though. The Patriots’ game was lost on numerous plays, as defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton explained while examining the game as a whole.
“I think, you know, it’s football, people are going to make mistakes. So, anytime someone’s out of place, the other team get paid as well,” said Wharton. “So, you know, it affects you, but there’s nothing that we could dwell on. It’s kind of the next play mentality when you’re out there on the field.”
