The Patriots will have an early bye week
It’s generally believed that the later in the season a team’s bye week is the more beneficial the week off will be. An extra week of rest later on usually gives teams a good reset for the remainder of the season.
This year, the Patriots will have their bye during Week 6 of the NFL season. This is the earliest the Patriots will have a week off since 2015 when they were off in Week 4. That team lost four of their final six games. Hopefully, the 2020 Patriots don’t suffer the same fate.
