The Patriots were bound to have some issues going into the 2025 season, as they are still rebuilding their roster and hoping to be a competitive team sooner rather than later. They have accomplished that to a degree, especially following a big win over the Bills on their home turf, but they haven't yet overcome a few struggles that need to be put in the past before they can be considered a trusted team.
The biggest problem continues to be ball security, particularly with running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who has now lost three fumbles in three games.
