The NFL released the New England Patriots’ 2023 schedule on Thursday night. So the roadmap for the team has been set, and right out of the gates, it’s clear it won’t be an easy ride.
New England will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in their home opener in Week 1, which is the game where legendary quarterback Tom Brady is expected to return to Foxboro to be honored at halftime by the team and fans.
After that game, they’ll then shift their attention back to the Miami Dolphins and the ridiculously stacked AFC East division. It’ll be a tall task for coach Bill Belichick and company in a year where they’re hoping to get back to the playoffs.
There’s also an international game thrown in the schedule in Week 10 with the Patriots slated to travel to Germany to face the Indianapolis Colts at Frankfurt Stadium.
