Curran: ‘Deep breaths' if you're out on Pats' long-term plan originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
New England Patriots have already experienced a rollercoaster of emotions through the first three weeks of the 2024 NFL season.
The campaign began with a surprising win over the Cincinnati Bengals. After that came a fun and competitive - albeit disappointing - overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks. On Thursday, the pessimism in New England peaked again as the Pats were blown out by the New York Jets in primetime.
It was clear heading into the season that the Patriots' rebuild will take at least another year or two to come to fruition.
