Jerod Mayo and a rebuilding Patriots roster will open a new season on Sunday afternoon with a Week 1 matchup on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Kick-off from Paycor Stadium is set for 1 p.m. You can watch the game on CBS, and listen to it on the radio on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
It’s going to be a season of change in Foxborough, with a new head coach on the sideline for the Patriots for the first time since 2000.
Mayo has a tall task ahead of him in terms of getting New England back atop the AFC, with the growth and development of younger players like Drake Maye, Ja’Lynn Polk, Christian Gonzalez and others standing as the priority this fall.
