The New England Patriots spent the past two seasons at the bottom of the AFC East. A massive climb up the standings is possible in 2025.
NFL.com’s Kevin Patra ranked the eight teams that finished last in their respective division during the 2024 season. The Patriots placed second behind the San Francisco 49ers as the squad most likely to transition from “worst to first” and win their division in 2025.
Patra noted that last year marked just the third season since 2003 that nobody jumped from last place to first. Can the Pats ride the NFL’s wave of parity to a massive turnaround behind new head coach Mike Vrabel?
