The New England Patriots kicked off their 2025 season in disappointing fashion on Sunday. The team fell 20-13 at home to the Las Vegas Raiders, in a game they were expected to win.
The offense failed to gather any momentum for much of the game, and the ground game was non-existent. As a team, the Patriots mustered just 60 total rushing yards and averaged 3.3 yards per attempt. The offensive line also didn’t have its best day, as the unit allowed four sacks and six tackles for loss.
However, it wasn’t all bad. All things considered, the defense didn’t play terribly, and two of the team’s big free agent additions were among the top performers.
