The New England Patriots are in uncharted territory. After nearly two decades of being the top dog in the AFC East, the Patriots are now clearly the worst team in the division as they enter a transition year in 2024.
Not that New England was any good this past season, as the Pats finished just 4-13. That was their worst mark since 1992. However, the Patriots at least entered 2023 with some hope. This time around, everyone knows the deal in Foxborough.
Gone is Bill Belichick, and in is Jerod Mayo, ending a 24-year era for Belichick in New England.
