After the Patriots went 16-0 in the 2007 regular season—Tom Brady threw 50 touchdowns and Randy Moss set a 23-reception TD record—Spygate controversy and a Super Bowl XLII upset exposed the franchise’s vulnerability to injuries. Today, rookie quarterback Drake Maye’s three turnovers against the Jacksonville Jaguars echo that 2007 depth collapse, prompting urgent roster moves.
