Patriots Under Pressure to Deliver | New England Patriots News

The Patriots are entering a new era with sky-high expectations after a surprise 14-win season and Super Bowl run — but pressure is mounting everywhere. Rookie DE Jacas is sidelined after surgery, while veteran Harold Landry, who faded late last year, isn’t practicing either, leaving a defensive void. Offensively, A.J. Brown — acquired for a first-round pick — is expected to elevate the offense beyond just 1,000 yards. QB Drake Maye had a breakout year, but his stats may have been unsustainable; with a rebuilt line and Brown’s arrival, he’s poised for a Josh Allen-style leap. Coach Mike Vrabel, who restored respectability last season, now faces tougher schedules and intense scrutiny — he must keep the team focused and winning as the element of surprise is gone.
