The Patriots might be back on track to having one of the better special teams units in the NFL.

The Patriots' QB scored a nice touchdown to start the second quarter and seemed to take a shot at the team he grew up rooting for with his celebration.

The offseason's acquisitions to a great extent haven't panned out. Whether this was Vrabel's doing or more the front office is irrelevant. If the trend continues, the Patriots will remain a bottom-third NFL team no matter how high the expectations were.

Stefon Diggs is spot on, saying the Patriots could be 3-0 and sitting on top of the AFC East along with the Bills. It's time for Mike Vrabel and his staff to correct the mistakes, make adjustments, engineer a clean game against Carolina, and move forward.
Michael DeVito|
Ty Law is regarded as one of the best players to ever wear a New England Patriots' uniform, and his belief in second-year quarterback Drake Maye has continued to skyrocket.
Ryan McLaughlin|
Self-inflicted wounds continue to plague the Patriots' season so far, and that needs to change if they hope to win another game.
Sara Marshall|
The Patriots have to improve their special teams performance going into their Week 4 matchup with the Panthers.

Adam Vinateri and Tedy Bruschi are two of 20 players with ties to the Patriots who are up for the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, and they deserve their chance.
Ryan McLaughlin|
The numbers paint a promising story for QB Drake Maye and the Patriots' offense through three games, and coordinator Josh McDaniels' fingerprints are all over it.
Ryan O'Leary|
Continuous mistakes like giving up sacks and fumbling, and receivers failing to get separation, have to disappear. If not, even the brilliant performances of Drake Maye won't be able to rescue the Patriots from another losing season.
Michael DeVito|
Mistakes have plagued the Patriots in both of their losses, games they easily were better than Pittsburgh and Las Vegas. But turnovers are the ultimate back-breaker in the NFL.
Ryan McLaughlin|
The New England Patriots' offensive line has struggled in a major way in run blocking, and they'll need to clean that up sooner rather than later if they want to make a playoff push.
Graham Wilker|
The Patriots have had a much rougher start to the 2025 season than anyone predicted.
Sara Marshall|
The Patriots are staring down a major problem with one of their best offensive weapons heading into Week 4.
Sara Marshall|
A scheme change has to happen now, along with the suggested personnel moves, if Maye is to have any chance of leading the 2025 Patriots to a winning season before it slips away. It's up to Mike Vrabel to make these changes.
Michael DeVito|
The tight end position tends to be a security blanket for quarterbacks, and Hunter Henry has proven to be just that for Drake Maye and the Patriots.
Ryan McLaughlin|
The New England Patriots' secondary should have a revival in Week 4 of the 2025 NFL season against an injury-riddled Carolina Panthers.
Levi Dombro|
Despite signing Stefon Diggs, the New England Patriots are utilizing a different player, Kayshon Boutte, as their WR1.
Graham Wilker|
Morgan Moses' leadership is all well and good, but unless and until both the playing and the coaching improve, expect the same results, losses that should be wins, and more disappointment.
Michael DeVito|
The Patriots now lead the NFL in lost fumbles, and Rhamondre Stevenson is at the center of it. Head coach Mike Vrabel defended his RB, and change could be coming (just not what fans are hoping for).
