The NFL season kicks off this week, and there’s a level of uncertainty about what this season will look like in New England.
Due to COVID-19, the team has had to deal with a range of things out of their control so far: an unconventional training camp, no preseason games or scouts present, the absence of fans. Ahead of the season-opener against the Dolphins on Sunday, the Patriots are not sure what to expect from their opponent — yet offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said that the players are prepared for anything.
“When we did have a preseason, there was still a lot of anxiety and unknowns that you were dealing with, relative to what you may or may not see, where players may or may not line up, who may or may not be playing across from you,” McDaniels said on Tuesday.
