New England on Sunday fell to a stunning 1-5 with its deflating road loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. This is the first time the Patriots have been 1-5 since 1995, five seasons before Bill Belichick took over as head coach.
With Week 6 now in the books, the NFL on Tuesday released the first official order for the 2024 draft. And if the season ended Tuesay, the Patriots would have the sixth overall pick.
