The New England Patriots 2020 schedule is out. Let’s just say it is not an easy one. The Patriots have the hardest schedule in all of football, and it will certainly test a young offense led by a new quarterback.
With the season beginning in Miami and ending in Seattle, it seems like the doing the Patriots will travel to just about every stop in the country. The first four weeks of the season will be tests in of themselves. With Seattle and Kansas City on the road, this will give New England something to measure their progress by.
Ahead of an action-packed schedule, let’s take a look at three games I am most excited for.
Week 1: vs. Miami Dolphins
The opener against the Miami Dolphins is one game I certainly am excited for. For starters, the entire Dolphins organization underwent an overhaul in the offseason. These Miami Dolphins are certainly formidable opponents, and they are working hard to establish an identity.
With Tua Tagovailoa now a member of the Miami Dolphins, the team has a new face of the franchise. Led by old friend Brian Flores, Miami looks to continue building off of what was a modestly successful season against the Patriots,
When you factor in that Elandon Roberts and Kyle Van Noy will be coming into town as well, this certainly is a reunion of familiar faces. With Miami defeating New England in Foxboro last season by a 27-24 margin last year, New England will certainly look to get a win back. Last season’s victory ultimately gave New England a harder road in the playoffs, and it gave Miami something to build off of for 2020.
Now, both teams look to start new era as another chapter in this divisional rivalry will be written. Besides the fact that this is the opening game of the season, all of these mini-storylines are reasons to be excited about the opener.
