NFL Notes: The Patriots can start to prove themselves again Sunday night

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:45:54 GMT

The promise of this Patriots season was never a playoff win.It wasn’t even a postseason berth.It wasn’t joy or winning or more automatic, biannual beatdowns of the Jets.It was clarity.Finally learning Mac Jones’ true potential. Finding out whether Bill Belichick is positioned to lead the Patriots long-term or will drop himself onto an already rumored hot seat. Discovering whether the Patriot Way is a dust-gathering relic of the past or a blueprint the franchise has successfully rolled out again.Yet here we are, still waiting.Of course, that promise was never going to be kept in Week 1. NFL season-openers are both the most anticipated and least telling games of the year.

Belichick can still devise as sharp a defensive game plan as you could imagine...
