Patriots' best and worst PFF grades from Week 5 vs. Dolphins image

The New England Patriots, after dropping their previous three games, lost another on Sunday, falling to the Miami Dolphins 15-10 at Gillette Stadium.

Jerod Mayo's team now stands at 1-4 and in fourth place in the AFC East behind the 2-3 Dolphins, 2-3 New York Jets and 3-2 Buffalo Bills.

While there's some hope for the future with Drake Maye expected to take over as the team's starter in Week 6, we're going to look back one more time at the loss against Miami.
