The Thursday night kickoff game on NBC has evolved into a tradition and it's always a difficult matchup for the road team. That could be especially true this year, as the Patriots have spent the offseason loading up on talent after winning its fifth Super Bowl title. The Patriots will unveil their latest championship banner, assuming they find room for it.
