Predictions for the Patriots' 2025 season were all over the place heading into their Week 1 matchup with the Raiders, and that trend has continued in the weeks since, as they enter this week's game against the Panthers with a 1-2 record. Besides the expected struggles for a team in the midst of a rebuild, their biggest problem has been turnovers, which has been an emphasis since their loss to the Steelers last weekend.
With five total turnovers that contributed to their longtime AFC foes' win, a projected no-tolerance policy is in effect for this trend to continue into the season.
