## Resource

The New England Patriots face a challenging 2026 season with a demanding schedule, including a high volume of travel and tough matchups against teams that won over 50% of their games last year. They start with seven of their first eleven games on the road, including a rematch against the Seattle Seahawks. The logistics create a headache for the coaching staff, with back-to-back travel affecting player recovery. The final stretch of the season features a gauntlet of AFC rivals, including the Buffalo Bills and a high-pressure game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The team must avoid a Super Bowl hangover and meet massive expectations to prove last year wasnt a fluke. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
