"Much was expected from the new Patriots right away. The awful 2024 team, which won a measly four games, only lost six by one score. That gave great hopes for a Renaissance under Mike Vrabel as both coach and team builder in 2025. In the first game, it didn't happen. The 2025 Patriots smacked of the 2024 version against the Raiders, and that's not a compliment. A couple of things did go right, however, though the team is now 0-1."
"Hunter Henry against Las Vegas became only the fifth tight end in Patriots history to rack up 200 catches. "TE Hunter Henry caught a 27-yard pass from QB Drake Maye in the first quarter for his 200th reception as a member of the Patriots, becoming the fifth New England tight end to reach 200 receptions. He finished the game with 4 receptions for 66 yards.""
The New England Patriots opened the 2025 season with a forgettable, criticized performance that closely resembled the disappointing 2024 team. High hopes for a quick turnaround under Mike Vrabel evaporated as the team lost its opener and displayed many of the same shortcomings. Bright spots included Harold Landry III's performance and Kayshon Boutte's 100-yard game, both showing resilience. Hunter Henry reached a franchise milestone by recording his 200th reception as a Patriot, joining Rob Gronkowski, Ben Coates, Marv Cook, and Russ Francis on the franchise list. Henry's steady production places him among the top Patriots tight ends.
