"Kraft acknowledged, 'Yeah, we have a pretty tough schedule, I think the hardest schedule with a lot of west coast travel.'"
"Kraft stated, 'My objective every year is we make the playoffs, and as we saw last year, when you're privileged to make the playoffs, anything can happen.'"
"Kraft remarked, 'In all seriousness, I think actually the team way overachieved what any of us thought would happen. And it was wonderful.'"
Patriots owner Robert Kraft anticipates a challenging 2026 season with a difficult schedule, including significant west coast travel. Despite a successful 2025 season, Kraft is cautious about expectations, emphasizing the importance of making the playoffs rather than focusing on Super Bowl aspirations. The team has shown potential for growth with players like Drake Maye and a deepening roster, but Kraft acknowledges the hurdles ahead, particularly against strong AFC West and NFC North opponents. He reflects on the team's overachievement in the previous season under coach Mike Vrabel.
