The Patriots did enough this offseason to get back on the regular primetime schedule.

After playing just one night game last season, the Patriots are currently scheduled for three primetime games this season: Week 5 in Buffalo on Sunday Night Football, Week 11 at home against the Jets on Thursday Night Football and Week 13 at home against the Giants on Monday Night Football. It helps to have Drake Maye at quarterback and Mike Vrabel as the team’s new head coach.
