FOXBORO, Mass. (WPRI) — For the New England Patriots, this Sunday’s game won’t just be the start of a new season, but the start of a new era.
With the exception of 2016, the team has started each season with the same man under center for the better part of two decades. Now that the Brady-Belichick era is in the rear-view mirror, the latter half will be looking to replicate the success he had with the former as new quarterback Cam Newton takes the helm.
Newton was brought in over the summer as a potential replacement for Tom Brady after he was released by the Carolina Panthers in March.
