As we continue with our seasonal opponent matchup previews, we are now moving on to the New England Patriots. Much like the previous two teams, the Patriots have entered a new era of football as the franchise moved on from Tom Brady in 2020, brought in Cam Newtown, and has just recently drafted Alabama quarterback Mac Jones.
New England had a very active offseason (more on that in a minute) and they still employ head coach Bill Belichick. Therefore, expectations for this team are still high, especially as they turn their focus towards the future.
The Patriots represent the third-straight test for the New Orleans Saints to start the season.
