In recent years, Super Bowl Champions have not had an easy time trying to repeat as champions. This will be something that the New England Patriots will try to end in 2017 with a repeat.
The Patriots are the last team that was able to accomplish pulling off a repeat and Tom Brady will be looking to lead the team to that same goal this season.
As many Super Bowl Champions before them, the Patriots are a different looking team in 2017 than they were in 2016. However, they are arguably better on paper in 2017 than they were in 2016.
