FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — One of these seasons, the New England Patriots won’t cruise through the AFC East to an easy division title and position themselves, more often than not, for a Super Bowl run.
One of these seasons, 40-something quarterback Tom Brady will begin showing his age and stop putting up MVP-caliber numbers. His lack of options at receiver will cause the offense to stall, the defection of another coordinator will fatally weaken the defense, and coach Bill Belichick’s cold-blooded approach to his roster will backfire.
That is sure to happen, one of these seasons.
