Now that the 2025 offseason is in the rearview mirror, the Patriots are well on their way in preparing for their season-opening game against the Raiders on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. It will be the first time we get a good look at Mike Vrabel's vision for the team in his first season as the head coach, which has already prompted a lot of excitement about how they will fare after back-to-back seasons of a 4-13 record.
They have the chance to start the year 1-0, since they'll be facing another team looking for redemption this year that also has a new head coach and staff and several new pieces on their roster.
