Then right tackle Marcus Cannon false started before Logan Ryan, a former Patriots cornerback, knocked down Brady's fourth-down pass to Edelman.Brady spent the rest of the game on the sideline, watching Brian Hoyer mop up Sunday after a very ugly and uncharacteristic performance in a 34-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans."It's hard to win in the NFL," Brady said when asked about being pulled. "You can't take it for granted. And I think it's hard to win. If you don't play well, you don't win."Brady was 21 of 41 for 254 yards, and this was the second time in three games he finished without throwing a TD pass.The Patriots (7-3) snapped a six-game winning streak with the offense sputtering and not performing up to their own standards against a team that hadn't beaten New England since Dec. 16, 2002.New England came in ranked fourth in the NFL in averaging 30 points a game, and the Patriots hadn't scored less than 25 points in each of the past six games. Tight end Rob Gronkowski sat out for the third time in four games with ankle and back injuries, but they did get back rookie running back Sony Michel.Yet New England was held to just 40 yards rushing, and Tennessee outgained the Patriots 385-284 in total offense. Worse, the Titans led 17-3 at the end of the first quarter, and New England managed only one touchdown drive the entire game. Coach Bill Belichick said the Titans did better than his Patriots in every facet of the game.The Patriots also had allowed only 13 sacks this season coming in, yet allowed a season-high three sacks to the Titans who also hit Brady six other times. Woodyard, an inside linebacker, led the Titans with 1陆 sacks and three hits on Brady."We didn't do really much of anything well today, so everything was a problem," Belichick said of the pass protection.Left tackle Trent Brown left briefly in the first half and was questionable to return because of illness. He was back for the start of the third quarter before leaving for good with an injured back. LaAdrian Waddle replaced him. Patriots tight end Dwayne Allen also hurt a knee.But Michel managed only 31 yards on 11 carries Youth Matthew Slater Jerseys , and the Patriots didn't have a run longer than 9 yards."We just couldn't get in a rhythm," Michel said. "We just have to execute better."Former Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler has struggled, giving up touchdown passes through the first half of the season. Tennessee kept second-year cornerback Adoree Jackson on Josh Gordon, and Brady threw 12 passes to Gordon. The receiver finished with only four catches for 81 yards 鈥?44 on the Patriots' opening drive on one completion.Gordon said Jackson has a lot of promise in the NFL, but that the offense seemed a little rushed."It's tough for me to give good perspective," Gordon said. "I'm not looking back and seeing the defensive line, but I think that's partially due to the fact I felt a little rushed."Seeing Brady on the sideline for the final two series surprised Ryan, who had never seen the Patriots quarterback not finish a game during his four seasons in New England."I've been on the other side with him, and teams lose focus and he's able to come back from 28-3," Ryan said referring to 2017 when the Patriots rallied to beat Atlanta in the first overtime in the history of the Super Bowl.The Patriots went three-and-out four times and settled for a pair of 52-yard field goals, and kicker Stephen Gostkowski pushed the second just wide left. They converted only 3 of 15 on third down."We just got outplayed," said Edelman, who finished with nine catches for 104 yards.Follow Teresa M. Walker at teresamwalker DENVER (AP)By pulling off a rare win in Denver, the Cincinnati Bengals gave themselves a chance to do something that’s only been done four times since the NFL adopted its current 12-team playoff format in 1990: recover from a 3-6 start to get their names on the list for the postseason party. The only teams to do it were the `94 Patriots, `95 Lions, `96 Jaguars and Washington five years ago. The Bengals aim to be the fifth after beating the Broncos 20-17 Sunday on the strength of two takeaways and a blocked field goal after watching Brandon McManus’ 61-yarder just before halftime easily clear the crossbar after Lewis had called timeout. Every year, there’s a team that gets hot when it gets cold, Lewis said. ”Last year Matthew Slater Jerseys Stitched , it was Green Bay,” which reached the playoffs with six straight wins following a 4-6 start, he noted. ”They ran the table and this year, it’s going to be somebody else.” Why not his Bengals? Aside from the AFC’s division leaders, there are nine teams with between four and six wins. ”There are a lot of teams in the situation we were in starting today and teams are going to get hot and get going,” Lewis said. ”We play some of them and they play each other. So we have an opportunity if we just handle our business.” No team has ever reached the playoffs after starting 3-7, but ever after the Broncos lost their sixth straight game in the same season for the first time since 1990, Von Miller hasn’t lost hope. ”The best we can do is 9-7,” Miller said. ”If I’m a betting man, I’m going to bet on the Broncos to win out. That’s just the type of guy I am. I’m going to reload and get back in there tomorrow and keep pushing. That’s just how I’m built.” The Broncos are 5-11 over their last 16 games, during which time their offense has averaged just 16 points a game. This skid coincided with the team putting replicas of the franchise’s three Super Bowl trophies on their locker room. The Broncos visit Oakland (4-6) next week hoping to avoid their first seven-game skid since 1967, when Lou Saban’s team lost a franchise-record nine in a row. Other takeaways from Denver’s first loss at home to the Bengals since 1975, when franchise founder Paul Brown was Cincinnati’s coach: QUARTERBACK QUAGMIRE: It might be time for the Broncos to see conclusively if Paxton Lynch is a bust or just a late-bloomer. ”We’ll see,” coach Vance Joseph said. ”We’re going to watch the tape and see where we are as an offense. Obviously, he’s healthy now. He’s a young player with talent.” Lynch dressed out for the first time this season, leapfrogging Trevor Siemian, who went from starter to inactive in three weeks. But Lynch looked disengaged on the sideline where he didn’t talk to the coaches and had very little interaction with his teammates. Even though he couldn’t beat out Siemian two straight summers, Lynch might end up rising to the top of Denver’s depth chart because Osweiler has completed just 53 percent of his passes with three TD throws and four interceptions. Siemian had a 62 completion percentage with nine TDs Kenny Britt Jersey , 10 interceptions and two lost fumbles while going 3-4. ”I’m never going to look over my shoulder,” Osweiler said. WHO YOU CALLING SOFT ? The Broncos were unable to rally to victory 48 hours after their boss, GM John Elway, suggested his team had gotten soft after a 3-1 start that followed a perfect preseason. While Joseph said he was taken aback but ultimately agreed, the vibe in the locker room was one of anger mixed with acceptance. Here’s what cornerback Chris Harris Jr. had to say about Elway’s dig: ”Everybody in this organization is accountable for how we are playing right now.” That evidently includes Elway, who hasn’t drafted an All-Pro since 2011 and has a spotty record in free agency since Peyton Manning’s retirement. FAMILIAR FOE : It wasn’t the ending to the reunion that Broncos nose tackle Domata Peko Sr. was envisioning. Peko spent 11 seasons with the Bengals before joining the Broncos this spring. ”It was really emotional because I was there for a decade,” said Peko, who led the Broncos with six tackles. ”That’s all I knew was Bengals football. All I knew was Paul Brown Stadium and the Jungle. It was part of me. For me to lose, that really hurt me personally. It also hurts as a team, of course.” THE TAKEAWAY: Osweiler’s interception in the end zone that led to Cincinnati’s first touchdown and C.J. Anderson’s fumble that led to the Bengals’ final TD brought Denver to minus-16 in takeaways. ”I just can’t do that to my teammates. It just hurts,” Anderson said through sobs. As for why the defense can’t seem to force more turnovers, Derek Wolfe was at a loss. ”If you see me, I’m making tackles trying to rip it out,” Wolfe said. ”They’re just not letting it go. You have to talk to them. Tell them to let it go.” TERRIFIC TRAYLOR : First-year pro Austin Traylor, who had just 20 catches in four years at Wisconsin, had four receptions for 36 yards in his NFL debut. The Broncos promoted him from their practice squad Saturday after waiving injured tight end A.J. Derby (shoulder), who was let go despite being the most productive tight end on the roster and being tied for the team lead with two TD catches. —
