The NFL has released the 2020-21 schedule and the New England Patriots will host the Miami Dolphins in their season opener on September 13th, as they play without Tom Brady for the first time in almost two decades.
Brady, now a Tampa Bay Buccaneer, will lead his new team to New Orleans in week one.
As for the Patriots, after opening week it’s off to Seattle and to Kansas City in two of the next three weeks.
Their bye week comes after week five of the season. That means 11 straight games after the week off.
It will be an interesting early December for the Pats. On Sunday, December 6th, they play at the LA Chargers and then play Thursday night, December 11th, at the LA Rams.
The regular season ends with two divisional home games, vs the Bill and then the Jets.
Check out the full Patriots schedule…
