The 2020 season is the New England Patriots' 51st in the National Football League, their 61st overall, and their 21st under head coach Bill Belichick.

It will also be the first season since 1999 without long-time quarterback Tom Brady on the roster, as he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady led the Patriots to nine Super Bowl appearances, winning six, and had been their primary starting quarterback from 2001 to 2019.[1][2]

After signing long-time Carolina Panthers quarterback and 2015 MVP Cam Newton on June 29, the Patriots will attempt to win their 12th consecutive AFC East title. However, the Patriots began the season 2–5, which was their worst record through 7 games since 2000. After a week 8 loss to the division rival Buffalo Bills, they failed to improve on their 12–4 record from the previous season.

For the 2020 season, the Patriots adopted their Color Rush jerseys as their primary home uniform while introducing a new road uniform for the first time since 2000.[3]

Game summaries

Week 1: vs. Miami Dolphins

Week One: Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots – Game summary
Period 1 2 34Total
Dolphins 0 3 0811
Patriots 0 7 7721

at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts

Game information

This was the Patriots' first game without long-time quarterback Tom Brady since September 22, 2016, and their first without Brady on the roster since January 2, 2000. Nonetheless, new starting quarterback Cam Newton performed admirably, finishing with a 79% completion percentage and leading a rush-heavy offensive attack with 75 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground, as the Patriots finished with 217 rushing yards overall. With the win, New England opened the season at 1–0.[94]

Week 2: at Seattle Seahawks

Week Two: New England Patriots at Seattle Seahawks – Game summary
Period 1 2 34Total
Patriots 7 7 31330
Seahawks 7 7 14735

at CenturyLink Field, Seattle, Washington

Game information

A competitive matchup vs the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football saw Seattle pull away during the third quarter, though the Patriots offense kept pace in the fourth quarter. A potential game-winning drive by the Patriots was snuffed out when Cam Newton, who passed for nearly 400 yards, was stuffed short of the goal line on a quarterback keeper in the final seconds of the game.[95] This was New England's third loss in four career meetings with former Patriots coach Pete Carroll. It was also Newton's sixth loss in eight career games against the Seahawks.

Week 3: vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Week Three: Las Vegas Raiders at New England Patriots – Game summary
Period 1 2 34Total
Raiders 3 7 01020
Patriots 0 13 101336

Game information

RB Rex Burkhead scored three touchdowns in a blowout win over the previously undefeated Raiders; the game was Belichick's 275th career win with the Patriots.

Week 4: at Kansas City Chiefs

Week Four: New England Patriots at Kansas City Chiefs – Game summary
Period 1 2 34Total
Patriots 0 3 0710
Chiefs 6 0 71326

at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri

Game information

The game was postponed to Monday night after Cam Newton tested positive for COVID-19. With Newton out, backup quarterback Brian Hoyer made the start for the Patriots. A low-scoring defensive affair in the first half saw the New England defense shut down Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes for much of the half, though the Patriots offense was likewise ineffective, with Hoyer taking a sack on the last play of the first half that prevented a potential game-tying field goal. Mahomes and the Chiefs offense came to life late in the third quarter, scoring two touchdowns on back-to-back drives as Hoyer was benched for Jarrett Stidham, who threw his first career touchdown but also two interceptions, including a pick-six to Tyrann Mathieu that all but sealed the game and dropped New England to 2–2.[96]

Week 6: vs. Denver Broncos

Week Five: Denver Broncos at New England Patriots – Game summary
Period 1 2 34Total
Broncos 6 6 6018
Patriots 0 3 0912

at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts

Game information

Despite scoring the game's only touchdown, this was the Patriots' first home loss to Denver in 14 years as they fell below .500, the first time they failed to be above .500 following Week 6 since 2002. In addition, it was the first time the Patriots lost without giving up a touchdown in the Bill Belichick era.

at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts

Game information

49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo made his first return to Foxboro since the Patriots traded him to the Niners in October 2017. Garoppolo played for the Patriots from 2014-17 and was part of their 2014 and 2016 Super Bowl-winning teams. This was the Pats' worst home loss in the Belichick era and their worst loss since their 2003 season opener vs the Buffalo Bills, where they were shut out 0-31. It was also the Patriots' first time losing 3 games in a row since 2002.
