Patriots Twitter reacts with calls for fire sale after Week 9 loss to Commanders

The New England Patriots lost to the Washington Commanders by a 20-17 score on Sunday.

Quarterback Mac Jones had a chance to lead the team to a game-winning score, but his pass hit the hands of wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and popped into the air for a Commanders interception to close out the game.

Overall, it was a difficult day for the offense, as they accumulated only 327 yards in total. They only compiled 220 passing yards against a Washington defense that ranked as the fourth-worst team against the pass this season.

New England went 3-of-12 on third downs and could not get anything going consistently. Commanders quarterback Sam Howell also made things difficult for the New England defense, as he threw for 325 yards, one touchdown and one interception on the day.

Overall, it was a difficult game to watch for Patriots fans. Many were calling for wholesale changes after the loss.

Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter:
