In case you haven’t heard, there’s been a changing of the guard around the NFL in 2020.
First, the New England Patriots lost at home to the Miami Dolphins in Week 17 of the 2019 season, setting them up to play on Wild Card weekend for the first time in 10 years. Once there, they promptly and unceremoniously fell to Ryan Tannehill and the Tennessee Titans — two figures the Patriots had regularly and repeatedly gobsmacked for years prior.
In losing when they did, the Pats saw two incredible streaks snapped. They missed out on the AFC Championship Game for the first time since the 2010 season, and they missed out on the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2015 season.
