Patriots Face Offensive Upside As Defense Stumbles
New England coach Chuck Fairbanks eyes a sharper offense with Jim Plunkett ahead and a faster backfield. Defense remains weak versus the run, with last season’s two-time record 250 yards by O J Simpson cited as a warning. Offense and special teams look stronger, but run defense could hinder a winning season. The Dolphins visit Sept. 15 as the opener, with the Bills and other rivals on the schedule.
