Week 1: Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots
Back in September it happened at the end of a blowout game.
Now it happens for real.
The New England Patriots are expected to replace Tom Brady, arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, with Jarrett Stidham, a fourth-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft. Obviously these are massive cleats for Stidham to fill, and despite many wondering if the Patriots would make a move at quarterback such as Cam Newton or Jameis Winston, the organization seems to be moving ahead with the second-year player.
In addition to seeing a new quarterback under center for the Patriots, the organization might be looking for a bit of revenge for how last season ended. The Dolphins came to town and upset the Patriots in the final week of the season, ending New England’s bid for a first-round bye. Their season, and the Brady Era in New England, ended the following week with a Wild Card loss to the Tennessee Titans. Patriots fans would love to see the Stidham Era begin with a win over the Phins.
