After four losing seasons, three head coaches and zero playoff wins in the five years since Tom Brady's exit, the New England Patriots could use some urgency.
And team owner Robert Kraft was happy to provide some Tuesday morning.
When asked by reporters during his annual NFL Owners Meetings media session at the Breakers hotel in Palm Beach, Fla., what would constitute a successful 2025 season for the Patriots, Kraft didn't hesitate in his answer.
"If we make the playoffs," Kraft replied.
That may seem like a lofty goal for a team that's gone 4-13 and fired its head coach in back-to-back seasons.
