"The 2025 New England Patriots are on a roll, to say the least. Led by wonderkind quarterback Drake Maye, an MVP candidate, the team has a 10-game winning streak and is now in a bye week before tackling the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium. They're also setting records. A recent one from 2012 they've tied is scoring at least 23 points in 10 games straight in a single season."
"Great teams like the Patriots are built in the offseason Good and great NFL teams, and bad and awful ones, are assembled in the offseason. The myth that you can't take a truly terrible roster and team and transform it into a good or a better one in one offseason has been completely dispelled. The past two seasons, two teams have ripped that fallacy to shreds."
"In 2024, with dynamic rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels at the helm, the 2023, 4-13 Washington Commanders reached the NFL Championship game before bowing out to the eventual Super Bowl kings, the Eagles. In 2025, the 2024, 4-13 Patriots have now reached the precipice of challenging for both the AFC East title and the overall No. 1 AFC seed, and are scoring for fun in the process."
The 2025 New England Patriots have a 10-game winning streak, tied a 2012 team record by scoring at least 23 points in 10 straight games, and occupy a bye week before facing the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium. Quarterback Drake Maye is an MVP candidate leading a markedly improved offense after a season with few touchdowns. Offseason roster construction under coach Mike Vrabel ranks among the best in team history and powered the turnaround. Recent league examples show a rapid rebuild is possible, as the 2024 Washington Commanders and the Patriots both transformed 4-13 campaigns into legitimate contenders.
