A trip to the Los Angeles Chargers awaits, who'll be furious after dropping a winnable game against the New York Giants in what was rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart's regular-season debut for the G-Men. Any team coached by Jim Harbaugh is going to be a tricky proposition to overcome. They are tough, physical, and boast some outstanding playmakers on both sides of the football. However, they are also dealing with some injury issues, particularly regarding key personnel on the offensive line.
The New England Patriots were energized this offseason as they embarked on a new era led by head coach Mike Vrabel. The goal was to restore The Patriot Way, but things came crashing down a bit with an unexpected 20-13 Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at home to kick off the 2025 NFL season. While New England played far from its best football, it sorely missed star cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who is still nursing an injury.
