New England QB Mac Jones relishes the chance to play abroad, and knows a win going into New England’s bye week is crucial.

New England is 2-7 following a loss to Washington with speculation swirling about Belichick’s future with the team.

With a 2-7 record and a former starter being left behind for the game in Germany, it seems the team is on the verge of fracturing like it never has under Bill Belichick.

New England was hoping to turn things around this season but instead fell to 2-7 with a loss to Washington.

An interception on a deflected pass ends New England’s last hope as the team falls to 2-7.

Parker is one of three key players who could be cleared to play Sunday against Washington.

Bourne, who was injured in New England’s loss to Miami, leads the team with 37 catches, 406 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns.

Tua Tagovailoa throws three touchdown passes and remains undefeated in six career games against New England.

Like Jones, Tagovailoa was a first-round draft pick out of Alabama whose NFL career started slowly.

If Miami’s speedy receiver doesn’t play, or if Belichick reduces his role, Miami’s offense is vulnerable and will have to work harder for lesser results.
