"The Patriots have not been a team featured too much in primetime over the last few seasons, and most fans would agree that it was probably the right decision. Throughout the dynasty years, the entire country got to watch New England beat down its opponents more than any other team during any season, but their demise made it easy not to continue that."
"The 2025 season has propelled the Patriots back into relevance after nearly five years of falling to the bottom of the league. The excitement surrounding Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye has many around the NFL paying close attention to what's going on in New England, especially since most hoped they wouldn't be a competitive team again any time soon. Unfortunately for them, their second-year quarterback is on an MVP trajectory,"
The Patriots' Week 16 matchup against the Ravens was moved to Sunday Night Football on December 21 at 8:20 PM. The Week 16 flex to NBC follows only three national appearances earlier in the season and a missed opportunity to have the Bills rematch flexed. A win next Sunday would clinch the AFC East; otherwise the Ravens game becomes a key rebound opportunity to solidify the Patriots' playoff standing. The 2025 season has returned New England to relevance after nearly five years of decline. Mike Vrabel and rookie Drake Maye have generated excitement, with Maye on an MVP trajectory and Vrabel a leading Coach of the Year candidate.
