The 2025 NFL season kicks off in Foxborough with the Raiders traveling east to face the Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Week 1.
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel makes a homecoming of sorts, returning to the organization where he carved out his legacy as a player.
Now on the sidelines, he’s tasked with guiding second-year signal-caller Drake Maye, who leads an offense bolstered by rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson’s big-play potential and the veteran savvy of wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Las Vegas, meanwhile, rolls out a fresh look of its own. Geno Smith takes over under center, pairing with electrifying rookie Ashton Jeanty in the backfield and tight end sensation Brock Bowers, whose record-breaking college career has Raider Nation buzzing about his NFL debut.
Of course, defense could end up writing the final script. Raiders pass-rushing menace Maxx Crosby remains one of the most feared edge defenders in football, while the Patriots showcase free-agent addition Milton Williams, a force in the trenches capable of wrecking game plans from the inside out.
