FINAL: Chargers 6, Patriots 0 - Zappe (13 of 25, 141 yards, 5 sacks) no cure for bad offense

If the Bailey Zappe start did anything, it pretty much reinforced that the entire offensive operation is broken. The same problems persisted.

I thought Zappe played fine for the most part, maybe a couple bad sacks but he made some plays with his feet. He might have shown better in better weather.

Patriots were shutout for the second time this season. They have 13 points in their last three games.

Defense played well but you could tell the weather affected both teams. Both teams had some brutal drops.
