The New England Patriots open up the 2022 NFL season with a road matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
In recent history, the Patriots haven’t had much luck at Hard Rock Stadium and the addition of Tyreek Hill isn’t going to help. The Patriots will have to overcome losses on the offensive coaching staff, along with losing key defensive players like J.C. Jackson and Kyle Van Noy.
Mac Jones is entering his second season without Josh McDaniels mentoring him on the sidelines, so he’ll likely need time to adjust and build chemistry with his teammates and coaches early in the year. The running back crew with Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson and James White should be able to pick up some slack and give Jones some breathing room.
