They lost it by not playing to win. They should've kept their foot on the gas. Once you start playing not to lose, rather than playing to win, you're vulnerable to exactly what happened.
Defensively, perhaps, as they eased up in the second half, went into a zone, and only rushed three.
Offensively, on that drive after Jones' catch that put them just outside the red zone, they could have settled for a FG for an 11 point lead, which would have made it a two score game, and all but sealed the deal in the 4th.
But, instead of running the ball to get into a better position, they kept on passing, had the sack, and penalty to knock them out of FG range.
Can't do that against a team like the Pats.
If only they had two top RB capable of picking up a yard on 3rd and 1...
