The New England Patriots will play host to the Washington Football Team tonight as both teams kickoff their preseason festivities inside Gillette Stadium.
In the 221 days since we last saw Bill Belichick’s squad take the field, much has changed. There has been plenty of roster turnover, changes made to the coaching staff and in the front office, and a major shift in expectations. Following the franchise’s first losing season in two decades, Bill Belichick went on a spending spree and drafted a first-round quarterback for the very first time.
The Patriots reconstructed their roster; adding talent in every phase of the game.
