The New England Patriots haven't made the playoffs in three years -- their longest drought since Robert Kraft bought the team in 1994. The dynasty that once defined the NFL, with six Super Bowl titles in 18 seasons, is firmly in the rearview mirror. But Kraft is embracing change as the franchise enters a new era.

While 2023 and 2024 were difficult, Kraft believes the team is on its way up in 2025. He spoke positively about the addition of new head coach Mike Vrabel and second-year quarterback Drake Maye, telling fans, "We're going to have fun this year, I promise."
