January 4, 2024

David Andrews has been a walking, talking definition of leadership this season despite all the ups-and-downs. As a captain once again, Andrews has played 100% of the snaps the Pats have had on offense this season and has routinely been the first guy at the podium following some of the ugly and downright embarrassing losses the team has had in 2023.

Turnovers ruled the day as New England handed Buffalo the ball four times en route to a 27-21 loss.
