Much like a home, you build a home and then run out of things to do, so you continue to add on to it, you finish the basement, you make additions to it, and we'll try to do that to this football team. I like the foundation of it, and we'll try to improve on it."
"I think you have to learn how to win in this league. You have to understand sometimes they're pretty, sometimes they're not. Sometimes you have to come from behind. Sometimes you have to make a stop late defensively. Sometimes you have to make a kick. And sometimes they're easier games where things are going right, you're returning punts for touchdowns and defensive touchdowns, and everybody's having a big pizza party."
The Patriots finished 14-3 and reached Super Bowl LX, losing 29-13 to the Seahawks. The offseason focus centers on a disappointing finish to a phenomenal, exciting, enjoyable year and the need to build on an established foundation through incremental additions. The coaching staff plans targeted improvements while keeping the core intact. The team learned how to win in different ways, including come-from-behind victories, late defensive stops, and special teams scores. The Super Bowl loss raised questions about left tackle Will Campbell's performance. Mike Vrabel earned 2025 NFL Coach of the Year after the turnaround.
