The New England Patriots will kick off their 2021 season with a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
The highly-anticipated appearance of rookie Mac Jones is here as he won the quarterback battle against Cam Newton. Jones has carried himself with the utmost confidence and his teammates have his back entirely. The Patriots’ offense is healthy, but the secondary is shaky with some injury issues and the absence of Stephon Gilmore.
The Dolphins will start Tua Tagovailoa and they’ll be returning a team that just missed the playoffs with a 10-6 record. Miami has the offensive firepower to beat New England on the road and it’ll be up to Jones to muster up enough offense in his NFL debut for the Patriots to have a chance.
