Previewing the 2017 AFC East teams

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (17-2)

OPEN CAMP: July 27, Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts.

LAST YEAR: Nothing stopped New England in 2017. Not Tom Brady finally serving his four-game "Deflategate" suspension to begin season. Not Rob Gronkowski's season-ending back surgery in December. Not even its 28-3 Super Bowl deficit to Atlanta, which it overcame to complete largest comeback in Super Bowl history and capture franchise's fifth ring. Lots of things went right along way. Brady continued to defy his age at 39 to throw 28 TDs and just two INTs. RB LeGarrette Blount finally put injuries behind him to post league-best 18 rushing TDs and anchored Patriots' potent ground game.
