The Patriots had already lost quarterback Drake Maye early in the first quarter before another major blow came in the form of an injury to star wide receiver AJ Brown.

The veteran receiver, who had missed the team's previous two games because of ankle and knee issues, sustained a hamstring injury in the third quarter against Detroit.

Brown exited the game following a 21-yard reception and run. The Patriots initially designated him as questionable before ruling him out for the rest of the matchup.
