Patriots struggle with A.J. Brown's performance in loss to Bears

The New England Patriots lost to the Chicago Bears on October 20, highlighting issues with A.J. Brown's performance. In three games this season, Brown has recorded just nine receptions for 101 yards and has struggled with drops, ranking low in multiple statistical categories. His lackluster showing in the primetime matchup included only three catches on six targets for 48 yards. The team needs Brown to improve as they move forward in the season after sending a first-round pick to acquire him from the Philadelphia Eagles. His performance thus far raises concerns for New England's offensive strategy.
