Commentary: The end of the Belichick era marks a new chapter for the Patriots, with Jerod Mayo stepping in as head coach. The Patriots’ offense was woefully inadequate last season, ranking near the bottom in nearly every key category. With the departure of Mac Jones and the addition of Jacoby Brissett and rookie Drake Maye, there is a glimmer of hope for rejuvenation, but significant improvements are needed. Despite a solid defense last season, the lack of offensive firepower and the loss of key players like Trent Brown and Davante Parker could hinder any potential progress. The Patriots will be at the bottom of the barrel fighting for a chance at the number one pick in the draft next season.
