The New England Patriots' 2024 regular season schedule was released on Wednesday, and it is already being ranked as the second-hardest schedule in the NFL. One look at the slate of games,

In a reminder that the Patriots have fallen to the lower levels of the league, they have just one prime-time game -- a Week 3 Thursday night road trip to face the New York Jets. That could always change later in the year with flex scheduling, of course, but the team doesn't currently have prime-time appeal.

For social media departments of NFL teams, the yearly schedule release has become their Super Bowl. Over the years teams such as the Los Angeles Chargers, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers — to name a few — have done tremendously creative videos to announce their upcoming slate of games.

It’s a new era for the New England Patriots, who will have a mountain to climb right out of the gates in the post-Bill Belichick era. They had one of the hardest schedules in the NFL last season, and this year, things won’t get any better.

We'll finally get to see the road map for Jerod Mayo's first season as head coach of the New England Patriots when the full 2024 NFL schedule is released on Wednesday night.

The 2024 regular season schedule is set for the New England Patriots, who will be looking to bounce back from an ugly 4-13 run last year. If anyone was praying for the NFL gods to show mercy on the rebuilding Patriots, those prayers obviously went unanswered considering the team once again has one of the hardest schedules in football.

The New England Patriots will have their hands full in 2024 with a much-improved AFC East division, along with multiple games against possible playoff contenders. They’ll be in deep waters from start to finish with a first-year head coach in Jerod Mayo and rookie quarterback Drake Maye.

The New England Patriots released their 2024 schedule Wednesday night, which includes a trip overseas. The team's 2024 season will kick off on Sunday, Sept. 8, against the Cincinnati Bengals at 1 p.m. on the road. The first game at Gillette Stadium will be the following week, Sunday, Sept. 15, against the Seattle Seahawks at 1 p.m.

The New England Patriots announced their NFL schedule with a parody of an iconic Boston flick, 1997's "Good Will Hunting," starring several New England football notables as themselves and filled with in-jokes and quotes from the movie.

If you ever hoped to see a collaboration between Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski and “Good Will Hunting,” the New England Patriots made your dreams come true as they combined the three to help announce their schedule for the 2024 NFL season.
