La temporada 2017 fue la 48.ª de los New England Patriots en la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano (NFL), su 58.ª en general y su 18.ª bajo el mando del entrenador en jefe Bill Belichick .

Los Patriots comenzaron la temporada como los campeones defensores del Super Bowl LI . [1] No pudieron igualar su récord de 14-2 de la temporada pasada con su derrota de la Semana 14 ante los Miami Dolphins . [2] A pesar de eso, en la Semana 15, los Patriots aseguraron su noveno título consecutivo de la AFC Este , su 15º de las últimas 17 temporadas , con su victoria sobre los Pittsburgh Steelers . [3] Con su victoria sobre los Buffalo Bills en la semana 16, los Patriots obtuvieron su octava temporada consecutiva de 12 o más victorias que se extiende desde 2010 , un récord de la NFL . [4] Su victoria de la Semana 17 sobre los New York Jets aseguró su primer puesto en la AFC por segundo año consecutivo, lo que le dio a los Patriots la ventaja de local durante todos los playoffs de la AFC por segundo año consecutivo. [5]

Los Patriots derrotaron a los Tennessee Titans en la ronda divisional 35-14, y a los Jacksonville Jaguars en el juego de Campeonato de la AFC 24-20, reclamando su segundo título consecutivo de la AFC. [6] Esta fue su séptima aparición consecutiva en el Campeonato de la AFC, sumándose a su récord del año anterior. [7] La ​​victoria también convirtió a Tom Brady en el mariscal de campo de mayor edad (40 años, 163 días) en ganar un juego de playoffs, superando a Brett Favre por el récord. [8] También fue la segunda vez que avanzaron al Super Bowl dos temporadas consecutivas, la primera fue en 2004. Se enfrentaron a los Philadelphia Eagles en una revancha del Super Bowl XXXIX . Esto también convirtió a los Patriots en el único equipo en la historia de la NFL en aparecer en diez Super Bowls, y les dio la oportunidad de repetir como campeones del Super Bowl por segunda vez en la historia de la franquicia, y por primera vez desde 2004. Además, tuvieron la oportunidad de empatar a los Pittsburgh Steelers por el récord de más victorias en el Super Bowl por un equipo en la historia de la NFL con 6. Sin embargo, debido a un strip-sack tardío de Brady por parte de Brandon Graham y un pase Hail Mary fallido, los Eagles derrotaron a los Patriots en el Super Bowl LII por 41-33, poniendo fin a la oportunidad de los Patriots de un sexto título de Super Bowl y resultando en su primera derrota en el Super Bowl desde 2011 . La derrota impidió que los Patriots repitieran su racha de tres de cuatro Super Bowls que lograron de 2001 a 2004. Además, con la derrota, los Patriots empataron el récord de la NFL de más derrotas en el Super Bowl con cinco, y los convirtió en el quinto campeón defensor del Super Bowl en perder el juego del año siguiente, después de los Dallas Cowboys de 1978 , los Washington Redskins de 1983 , los Green Bay Packers de 1997 y los Seattle Seahawks de 2014. [9] Más tarde se les unirían los Kansas City Chiefs de 2020 .

Semana 1: vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Partido inaugural de la NFL

Semana uno: Kansas City Chiefs vs New England Patriots – Resumen del partido

en el estadio Gillette , Foxborough, Massachusetts

Los Patriots comenzaron su temporada en casa el jueves 7 de septiembre como los campeones defensores del Super Bowl. Atacarían primero en el primer cuarto cuando Mike Gillislee corrió para un touchdown de 2 yardas para una ventaja de 7-0. Sin embargo, los Chiefs empataron más tarde en el cuarto a 7-7 cuando Alex Smith encontró a Demetrius Harris en un pase de 7 yardas. En el segundo cuarto, los Pats se adelantaron por dos dígitos cuando Stephen Gostkowski pateó un gol de campo de 25 yardas seguido por Gillislee corriendo para otro touchdown de 2 yardas para poner el marcador 10-7 y aumentarlo a 17-7. Los Chiefs se acercaron a 3 antes del medio tiempo cuando Smith encontró a Kareem Hunt en un pase de 3 yardas para un juego de 17-14.

En el tercer cuarto, los Chiefs tomaron la delantera cuando Smith encontró a Tyreek Hill en un pase de 75 yardas para poner el marcador 21-17. Sin embargo, los Pats volvieron a tomar la delantera cuando Gillislee corrió para un touchdown de 1 yarda para poner el marcador 24-21. Luego cerraron el cuarto con una ventaja de 27-21 cuando Gostowski pateó un gol de campo de 32 yardas. En el cuarto cuarto, todo fue de los Chiefs. Todo comenzó cuando Smith encontró a Hunt nuevamente, esta vez en un pase de 78 yardas para recuperar la ventaja 28-27. Esto fue seguido por la carrera de 4 yardas de Hunt para un touchdown para poner el marcador 35-27. Finalmente, cerraron el marcador del juego con la carrera de 21 yardas de Charcandrick West para un touchdown para el marcador final de 42-27. [147]

Este juego fue la primera victoria de los Chiefs en Foxborough desde 1990. [148] Además, la defensa de los Patriots permitió 537 yardas totales, que es la mayor cantidad de yardas jamás concedida por un equipo de Bill Belichick durante un solo juego, ya que los Patriots comenzaron 0-1 por primera vez desde 2014. [149]

Semana 2: en New Orleans Saints

Semana dos: New England Patriots vs New Orleans Saints – Resumen del partido

en el Mercedes-Benz Superdome , Nueva Orleans, Luisiana

  • Fecha : 17 de septiembre
  • Hora del juego : 1:00 p. m. EDT/12:00 p. m. CDT
  • Clima del juego : Se jugará en un estadio cubierto (estadio con cúpula)
  • Asistencia al juego : 73.168

  • Resumen, libro-juego

Los Patriots se recuperaron de su derrota de la semana inaugural al establecer una ventaja insuperable temprana contra los New Orleans Saints en su enfrentamiento de la semana 2 para su primera visita al Mercedes-Benz Superdome desde la temporada 2009 en la que los Saints ganaron el Super Bowl . Brandin Cooks regresó al Bayou mientras la controversia para los Saints estaba en torno a los backs Adrian Peterson y Mark Ingram II compitiendo por toques. ( Alvin Kamara , quien ganaría el Novato Ofensivo del Año de la NFL en 2017, aún no estaba teniendo un tiempo de juego significativo en la semana 2). Peterson luego sería enviado a los Cardinals en un giro irónico de los acontecimientos para Chris Johnson . Tom Brady completó tres pases de touchdown en el primer cuarto a Rex Burkhead , Rob Gronkowski y Chris Hogan . Los tres touchdowns marcaron un récord personal para Brady, quien nunca en su carrera había tenido tantas anotaciones en el primer cuarto de ningún juego. [150] Mike Gillislee sumó un touchdown terrestre en el segundo cuarto y los Patriots jugaron una segunda mitad conservadora para sellar la victoria por 36-20. Esta sería la única derrota en casa que tendrían los Saints esta temporada. Grownkowski se lesionó la ingle en el tercer cuarto, lo que le obligó a abandonar el juego. [151]

Semana 3: vs. Houston Texans

Semana tres: Houston Texans vs New England Patriots – Resumen del partido

En el estadio Gillette, Foxborough, Massachusetts

  • Fecha : 24 de septiembre
  • Game time: 1:00 p.m. EDT
  • Game weather: 84 °F (29 °C), Sunny
  • Game attendance: 65,878
  • Referee: John Parry
  • TV announcers (CBS): Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts and Evan Washburn
  • Recap, Gamebook

The week 3 matchup vs. the Texans proved to be a greater challenge for the Patriots than the Saints had been in week 2. The Patriots scored first on a 7-play drive ending with a Tom Brady 5-yard throw to Rob Gronkowski, who was playing with a groin injury that took him out of the previous week's game. The game would progress through seven lead changes, as Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson would go drive-for-drive against Brady. Watson threw two touchdowns, one of which to his tight end Ryan Griffin, who attended college in New England at UConn. Two field goals late in the game would give the Texans their final lead at 33–28. With less than 2:25 remaining in the game, Brady led the Patriots on a frantic 8-play 71-yard drive that culminated in a 25-yard reception by Brandin Cooks to give the Patriots the 36–33 win.[152]

Week 4: vs. Carolina Panthers

Week Four: Carolina Panthers at New England Patriots – Game summary

at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts

The Patriots' third game at home this season was their second loss of the season. Tom Brady's attempted comeback in the fourth quarter was not enough to beat Cam Newton and the Panthers as Carolina upset New England 33–30 with a last second 48-yard field goal courtesy of Graham Gano. At the end of Week 4, the Patriots' defense was ranked last in the entire NFL.[153] In this rematch of Super Bowl XXXVIII, this was the second consecutive time, after the 2013 season, that the Pats lost a heartbreaker to Cam Newton. This was the last time the Patriots lost a home game until Week 14 of 2019.

With the loss, the Pats fell to 2–2. Brady's record against the Panthers overall also fell to 2–3.

Week 5: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week Five: New England Patriots at Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Game summary

at Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida

  • Date: October 5
  • Game time: 8:25 p.m. EDT
  • Game weather: 76 °F (24 °C), clear
  • Game attendance: 64,476
  • Referee: Carl Cheffers
  • TV announcers (CBS/NFLN/Amazon Video): Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson
  • Recap, Gamebook

For the first time since 2009, the Patriots wore an all-white ensemble for this game, against the Buccaneers.[154] For the first time this season, the Patriots were held to just a single touchdown on offense. Buccaneers place kicker Nick Folk missed all three field goal attempts in this game, which proved fatal to any chance they had at a comeback. After the conclusion of Week 5, the Patriots claimed a share in a three-way tie for the division lead. Star tight-end Rob Gronkowski did not play in the game, after being listed on the injury report for suffering from a thigh injury suffered at practice the previous day.[155]

Week 6: at New York Jets

Week Six: New England Patriots at New York Jets – Game summary

at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

  • Date: October 15
  • Game time: 1:00 p.m. EDT
  • Game weather: 73 °F (23 °C), cloudy
  • Game attendance: 77,562
  • Referee: Tony Corrente
  • TV announcers (CBS): Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts and Evan Washburn
  • Recap, Gamebook

Another interesting chapter was added to the Patriots-Jets rivalry at MetLife. With this victory over the Jets, quarterback Tom Brady earned his 187th regular season win. Brady surpassed Brett Favre and Peyton Manning as the NFL's sole all-time leader in regular season wins.[156] While missing two key components of their defensive secondary, the Patriots were able to overcome a two touchdown deficit in the first half and were able to hold on to secure the victory on a final drive surge from the Jets. Star tight end Rob Gronkowski made his return to the lineup, and contributed two touchdowns as well as several other key catches in the victory. This game also marked the first time since Week 1 that Brady did not throw for 300 yards.

During this game, in the 4th quarter, a controversial play caused a Jets touchdown to be reversed by official review when it was found that Jets tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins juggled the ball after being hit, resulting in a fumble, and didn't regain control until he was out of bounds which, by rule, is enforced as a turnover and a touchback.

Week 7: vs. Atlanta Falcons

Week Seven: Atlanta Falcons at New England Patriots – Game summary

at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts

  • Date: October 22
  • Game time: 8:30 p.m. EDT
  • Game weather: 56 °F (13 °C), cloudy, fog developing in the 2nd quarter
  • Game attendance: 65,878
  • Referee: Gene Steratore
  • TV announcers (NBC): Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth and Michele Tafoya
  • Recap, Gamebook

For the first time since Week 3 of last season, the Patriots wore their all-blue Color Rush uniforms, for this Super Bowl LI rematch.[154] The Patriots defense, for the first time this season, were able to hold an opposing quarterback under 300 passing yards, with Matt Ryan only logging 233. The defense also made key stops, including blocking a field goal, stopping the Falcons in the red zone resulting in a missed field goal, and stopping Atlanta on a 4th down attempt from the 1-yard line. During the game, an extremely dense fog covered the stadium for most of the contest, resulting in the television broadcast being forced to use their on-field cameras much more than normal. As the Chiefs had lost to Oakland on Thursday Night Football, the Patriots' win against the Falcons moved them into a three-way tie for the best record in the AFC with the Chiefs and Steelers.

Week 8: vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Week Eight: Los Angeles Chargers at New England Patriots – Game summary

at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts

  • Date: October 29
  • Game time: 1:00 p.m. EDT
  • Game weather: 62 °F (17 °C), rain
  • Game attendance: 65,878
  • Referee: Pete Morelli
  • TV announcers (CBS): Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts and Evan Washburn
  • Recap, Gamebook

In their last game before the bye week, the Patriots took on the Los Angeles Chargers at home. The teams traded punts on the opening two possessions. The Chargers scored first on an 87-yard run by Melvin Gordon, matching a 56-year old Chargers record. With the next drive, the Patriots scored on a 2-yard pass to Rob Gronkowski at the start of the second quarter. Later in the second quarter, the Chargers returner Travis Benjamin caught a Ryan Allen punt at his own 8-yard line and ran backwards into his own endzone in an attempt to evade the Patriots coverage team. The resulting safety by Brandon King gave the Patriots their first lead at 9–7, and the Patriots would never trail again, kicking four field goals, and holding off a late-game surge by the Chargers to preserve a 21–13 win.

The game was notable for the performances by Patriots running backs. Heavy rain slowed down the long passing game, so short passes to the running backs dominated the Patriots offensive game plan. Running backs James White and Rex Burkhead led the Patriots in receiving with 85 yards and 68 yards respectively, mostly on yards after catch. Fellow running back Dion Lewis led the Patriots in ground yardage for the fourth straight week, with Mike Gillislee also contributing to key short-yardage situations.

With the win, the Patriots entered the bye week and improved to 6–2. A few days after this, the Patriots sent backup QB Jimmy Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers for a second-round draft pick. Garoppolo led the 49ers to five consecutive wins after replacing C. J. Beathard.

Week 10: at Denver Broncos

Week Ten: New England Patriots at Denver Broncos – Game summary

at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver, Colorado

  • Date: November 12
  • Game time: 8:30 p.m. EST/6:30 p.m. MST
  • Game weather: 48 °F (9 °C), partly cloudy
  • Game attendance: 76,820
  • Referee: Walt Coleman
  • TV announcers (NBC): Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth and Michele Tafoya
  • Recap, Gamebook

The Patriots usually play very well coming off of a bye week[157] and 2017 was no exception. The Patriots opened the game with a 3-and-out, but on the ensuing punt, Denver returner Isaiah McKenzie muffed the return, and it was recovered by the Patriots. Brady capitalized quickly, as two quick completions to Rex Burkhead gave the Pats the lead at 12:43 in the first quarter, a lead they would not relinquish. The Broncos answered with a field goal, and on the ensuing kickoff, Pats special teams came through again with a Dion Lewis kick return for a touchdown. The Broncos added a second field goal in the first quarter, while the Patriots responded with one of their own at the start of the second quarter. The Broncos next drive stalled out short of midfield, and Burkhead found a hole in the line to block the Riley Dixon punt, once again giving the Patriots good field position. The Patriots and Broncos traded field goals, and the Patriots closed out the first half with a Brady-to-Dwayne Allen touchdown, his first reception of the season. The Broncos only sustained touchdown drive came at the start of the second half, ending in a Brock Osweiler-to-Demaryius Thomas seven-yard pass. Two more touchdowns by the Patriots (a run by Lewis and a reception by James White) would seal the deal, with Brady taking a rest at the end of the game to give new acquisition Brian Hoyer some game-time reps.

For his performance, Brady was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week, his third this season and the 30th of his career. In addition, running back Dion Lewis also earned honors, receiving the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award.

Then, with 56 seconds remaining, Dion Lewis scored on an 8-yard run and the Patriots added a two-point conversion to go ahead 27–24.

JuJu Smith-Schuster set the Steelers up deep in Patriots territory with a 69-yard reception from Ben Roethlisberger. It looked like Pittsburgh regained the lead on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to tight end Jesse James. However, the play was overturned and the Steelers couldn't find the end zone. The game ended on a Roethlisberger interception. With this win, the Patriots improved to 11–3 and clinched the AFC East division title for the 9th consecutive season.

Super Bowl LII: vs. (N1) Philadelphia Eagles

Super Bowl LII: (N1) Philadelphia Eagles vs. (A1) New England Patriots – Game summary

at U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota

With this loss, the Patriots were unable to defend their Super Bowl title from last year. The team finished the season with an overall record of 15–4. However, the 33 points scored is the most ever by a team that lost the Super Bowl (since surpassed by the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII with 35). Tom Brady is also the first quarterback ever to throw for over 500 yards and lose the Super Bowl. His personal Super Bowl record dropped to 5–3. His record against the NFC East in Super Bowls also dropped to 1–3.

The Patriots, however, became the first team to appear in and play in 10 Super Bowls. But, despite the fact that they are still tied with the Cowboys and 49ers for 5 franchise wins, this loss tied them with the Broncos for most Super Bowls lost, with 5.
