The New England Patriots had a relatively successful season in 2021. It was the team’s first year under the leadership of Mac Jones. The rookie quarterback was selected 15th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft and led his team to a playoff run in his first year in the league. The Patriots finished the regular season 2nd in the AFC East with a winning record of 10-7. New England fell to the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, Jones’ first NFL playoff game.
As usual, Bill Belichick was on the sideline leading his team all season long.
