New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has a clear understanding of what he views as successful for the 2025 season. He wants to see the rebuilding Patriots get back to the playoffs.
The Patriots have not made the playoffs since the 2021 campaign. Since then, the organization has gone a combined 16-31 in the last four seasons of play, including back-to-back 4-13 finishes. They have quickly slumped from being a perennial playoff contender to a team with one of the worst records in consecutive seasons.
"To make the playoffs," Kraft responded when asked what he needed to see to make the season successful.
