FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — A missed field goal in the final seconds against Arizona. A game-winning kick by the Ravens as the clock ran out. And now a 46-yard touchdown pass that gave the Seattle Seahawks the lead in the final minutes.

The Patriots are 3-3 after their third close loss on Sunday. In all three games, New England had a second half lead — twice leading by two scores in the fourth quarter.

Coach Bill Belichick said Monday the team just didn't make the plays when it needed to. Now, the Patriots are locked in a four-way tie for first place — and last place — in the AFC East.
