It was going to happen eventually. The 2024 New England Patriots lost their first game.
For a lot of us, that loss happened a week later than we thought it would, and even now, spirits seem relatively high. Hopefully we can watch this team continue to build.
1. This whole season is about one thing and one thing only: looking towards 2025 and beyond as young players develop and the Patriots get a sense of who they’re going to be in the years to come. So wins and losses don’t matter all that much from a here-and-now standpoint.
