The New England Patriots are projected to have one of the easiest schedules in 2025, but that doesn't mean they're off the hook for facing some of the best quarterbacks in the league. There are at least five former Pro Bowl quarterbacks, including two league MVPs, on the Patriots' schedule.
These matchups in particular will serve as a huge test for Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and defensive coordinator Terrell Williams. It will be a measuring stick of how well the defense holds up against some of the better offenses in the league.
The Patriots' offense will be tested as well in its ability to match the opponent blow for blow.
