Walking into the New England Patriots this offseason meant there was a lot of work to be done for Mike Vrabel and the new coaching staff. Besides the five years of dwindling relevancy straight to the bottom of the league, the franchise appeared to be in more trouble from a roster standpoint, as the team seemed disjointed in a way that would take a while to fix.
The 2024 season was particularly bad, with rumors of a mutiny taking place behind the scenes. But that was no match for Vrabel and Co., as the team has miraculously turned things around and is now at the top of the league with a 9-2 record.
