The New England Patriots struggled in their passing game during a 23-20 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks, with wide receivers combining for only three catches for 19 yards. Head coach Jerod Mayo emphasized the need for a more balanced offense, particularly in the passing game, as they prepare for a Thursday matchup against the New York Jets. Despite a strong rushing performance, the team's inability to effectively utilize their receivers has raised concerns about their offensive capabilities.

In a surprising victory against the Bengals, Patriots wide receiver K.J. Osborn led the team with six targets, but managed only three receptions for 21 yards.
