65th season in franchise history
The 2024 season was the New England Patriots ' 55th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, and their 23rd playing home games at Gillette Stadium , and the first year under a new de facto general manager , executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf , and their only season under head coach Jerod Mayo .
They matched their AFC-worst 4–13 record from last year , unable to improve upon it following a Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers . The Patriots started 1–6 while also losing 6 straight games for the first time since 1993 . The Patriots failed to end their four-year AFC East title drought after a Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins dropping them to 3–9, resulting in the Patriots third consecutive losing season and their fourth in five years. The Patriots were eliminated from playoff contention the following week with a loss to the Indianapolis Colts coupled with the Houston Texans beating the Jacksonville Jaguars . After an upset win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 18, Jerod Mayo was fired after just one season.[ 1] That same win also gave up their possibility of the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft .[ 2]
This was the first season since 1999 without long time head coach Bill Belichick , as he and the Patriots mutually agreed to part ways on January 11.[ 3] A day later, linebacker coach Jerod Mayo was hired as the 15th head coach in franchise history; Mayo had played with the team between 2008 and 2015 , winning Super Bowl XLIX with them. Also, this is the first season since 2007 without special teams star Matthew Slater on the roster after he announced his retirement on February 20.
