The New England Patriots’ schedule for the 2022 NFL season is official. The league released the schedule for every NFL team on Thursday night at 8 p.m. during their annual release show. We’ve known the team’s opponents for quite some time, but now we finally get to see how the games form a full season.
There will be a fascinating early-season matchup between the Patriots and Packers at Lambeau Field. A duel between Bill Belichick and Aaron Rodgers will make for good entertainment. And then there’s a brutal stretch to finish the season, with five of the best teams in 2021 in the AFC in the final six games of the season. It’s possible that, even if the Patriots have a strong start to the season, they might slip in the final weeks of the year.
