The Patriots will look to build upon a 2021 campaign that saw them find their quarterback of the future and get back to the playoffs. In order to take the next step, the Pats need to improve upon their 10-7 record and early playoff exit.

The NFL released team schedules for every team on Tuesday and it’s clear the Patriots will face some high-powered offenses this season. After we all saw Josh Allen and Buffalo Bills run over the Patriots in the wild card round, the team’s defense was a big concern entering this offseason.
