Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots will host Pete Carroll and the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, pitting two coaches who take over for struggling franchises. Both teams appear ready to improve due to upgrades in personnel and coaching, but only one will come out on top this week.
Patriots second-year quarterback Drake Maye is why New England fans are excited about their future. Maye proved to be up to the task last season despite poor skill players surrounding him. Adding help on the offensive line and two playmakers in wide receiver Stefon Diggs and rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson should go a long way in elevating the offense.
