FOXBORO -- -- Taylor Kyles of CLNS Media reports from Gillette Stadium where the New England Patriots suffered a 20-17 defeat to the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The setback leaves the Patriots with a 2-7 record, languishing at the bottom of the AFC. In the critical moments of the game, New England's potential comeback was cut short when Mac Jones' pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster ended in an interception by a Commanders' defender named Martin, sealing Washington's victory. In the wake of yet another disappointing loss, Taylor Kyles delves into the Patriots' receiver situation, questioning whether they have the weakest wide receiver corps in the NFL.

00:00 What's going on everyone, it's Taylor Cowles here for CLNS Media.

00:03 The Patriots entered today short-handed at wide receiver, with Kendrick Bourne out for the season

00:07 with a torn ACL and Devontae Parker missing at least this game due to a head injury.

00:12 This seemed like it would open opportunities for some of the team's younger and speedier receivers,

00:16 namely Kayshawn Booty, Tyquan Thornton, and Jalen Rager. Kayshawn Booty started the game inactive

00:22 for reasons unknown, despite the fact that the team mentioned this was his best week of practice.

00:27 Tyquan Thornton got some early opportunities with the offense, but he and Mac Jones couldn't get on

00:32 the same page and he seemed to fall out of favor after a poorly run route on a third down.

00:36 Jalen Rager did have a couple of solid plays, particularly as a blocker,

00:42 but he also missed a deep pass from Mac Jones on a post route that could have completely changed

00:47 the momentum of the game and ultimately resulted in a punt on a play that could have put New

00:51 England inside its own red zone. Going forward, the team's wide receiver position is a big

00:56 question mark. Juju Smith-Schuster actually had a solid performance in a rotational role,

01:01 but unfortunately dropped his last target of the game, which resulted in a game-sealing

01:06 interception. Here's what Juju had to say about the miscue.

01:09 Middle field was open, ran a hand cut. It was a good ball. It went through my hands. Interception.

01:18 Do you say anything to Mac after that? How do you approach the situation?

01:25 I put that stuff on me. That's all on me. He put the ball in a good position. I just got to make

01:30 the catch, secure it, and now I'm in field goal range. Obviously, I didn't do that. Fell short.

01:56 Now, Bill Belichick said that Mike Kisicki was the team's fifth receiver today,

02:03 which opens the question of what the team is going to do going forward at the position

02:07 after today's struggles. Demario Douglas popped it several times throughout the game

02:11 and almost came down with an incredible catch on a seam route that was eventually overturned.

02:15 But the team can't consistently go through the season with only one rookie as a reliable target

02:21 on offense. Hopefully, Kayshaun Booty can establish himself in practice and prove to be a

02:26 spark plug in a meandering Patriots offense. But until we see more on the field, the Patriots

02:32 receiving corps is looking like the worst unit in the NFL. Ever wish you could navigate the betting
