Things have not been going great for the New England Patriots since the Tom Brady era ended.
Since 2019, New England has had only one playoff appearance, finishing in third place or worse in each of the other four seasons, including back-to-back last-place finishes in the division the past two years. Despite bringing in a new head coach this offseason, the Patriots seem to be making positive progress.
Bleacher Report's Moe Moton predicted the teams that would finish at the bottom of each division next season, with the Patriots' rival Miami Dolphins predicted to be the worst in the AFC East.
