The Patriots went 4-13 in the 2024 season, their second-straight four-win campaign. But with a new coach in Mike Vrabel and an improved roster around second-year quarterback Drake Maye that includes receiver Stefon Diggs and first-round draft pick Will Campbell, the Pats are hoping to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2021.

Come back Wednesday night for the Patriots’ week-to-week schedule, plus season analysis and predictions.
