Mike Vrabel’s first win as head coach of the New England Patriots was exactly how he drew it up, right?
The Patriots won a wild Week 2 game in the South Florida heat, somehow surviving 12 accepted penalties and another abysmal showing on special teams that nearly cost them the game late.
There were definitely too many problem areas in this one for the now 1-1 Patriots. The good news? Some of New England’s most important players came up huge in a win that could end up being a turning point for this 2025 season.
