If by a miracle, Pats had made a comeback, they wouldn't have gone far.
They backed into the playoffs, there were no weapons, and the defense was still good but no longer playing elite.
They lost 5 games that year including the playoff game. The Titans game as mentioned. One was against the eventual Super Bowl champions and they should have won but the refs blew multiple horrendous calls. Another was to the #1 seed Ravens on the road and down only 24-20 going into the 4th quarter the best defense in the league gave up 13 points. Another was to the 10-6 Texans again on the road where Watson had a 140 QB rating again against the best defense in the league. And then in Miami in week 17 when Brady threw a TD pass to give the Pats a 4 points lead with 3:30 to go the best defense in the league let Ryan Fitzpatrick drive down the field and score a TD with 20 seconds left.
So....yeah.
