FINAL: Buccaneers 19, Patriots 17 - Final quarter back and forth between Brady, Jones

FOXBOROUGH — Patriots come up just short when Nick Folk's field goal hits the left up right from 56 yards.

The Patriots played very well overall, but lost another winnable game and couldn't come up with the final stop again.

They fall to 1-3 and are 0-3 at Gillette Stadium.

Tom Brady (22 of 43, 269 yards, 70.8 rating) did not play well in this game against a very formidable gameplan by the Patriots that basically spun the dial on every snap. It was very reminiscent of Rex Ryan's best battles against Brady.

Mac Jones came of age in this game, going 31 of 40 for 275 yards, two touchdowns and an interception (101.6 rating) that was the fault of the protection.
