The Patriots’ impressive turnaround season continued on Sunday with a 38-10 win over the Dolphins — closing out the regular-season slate with a 14-3 record and the No. 2 seed in the AFC.
Now, the real work begins for Mike Vrabel and a Patriots team looking to carry that momentum into the postseason.
The No. 2 Patriots will host a playoff game at Gillette Stadium for the first time since the 2019 season next weekend, as New England will take on the No. 7 Chargers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.
A date and starting time for New England’s first postseason game since January 2022 has yet to be announced.
