All 32 NFL teams, including the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers, are getting ready to begin the 2024–25 regular season, which starts on September 5. Before that, each team will play three preseason games.
The Chicago Bears defeated Houston Texas 21-17 in Canton, Ohio in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game last week. This week, the remaining teams begin their schedules, with the Patriots and Panthers settled to play on Thursday at Gillette Stadium.
New England has ushered in a new era following a 4-13 campaign in 2023 that saw them finish last in the AFC East. Eliot Wolf, the team's new vice president of player personnel, head coach Jerod Mayo and quarterback Drake Maye are all preparing for their roles for the first time.
