Not much is expected of the New England Patriots heading into the 2024 NFL campaign. After they completely fell apart in 2023, with Mac Jones wilting away under center and Bill Belichick being cast to the side, the upcoming season offers an opportunity for the Patriots to take their first step towards reestablishing themselves as a perennial playoff contender.
The problem is that the result in 2024 could be fairly ugly. While New England's defense should remain one of the best units in the league, they have a completely new coaching staff that is being thrown into the fire right away, and an offense that is devoid of talent.
