How good can the New England Patriots offense be in 2026? Because after what Drake Maye and this offense accomplished last season, expecting another top-10 finish doesn't feel crazy at all. Actually? They might be capable of even more. New England finished tied for fifth in offensive points per game last season at 26.6. And when you look at the teams that ultimately competed deep into the playoffs, there's a pretty obvious trend. You need to score points. Seven of last year's top 10 offenses made the playoffs. Six of the eight teams that reached the divisional round were inside the top 10. And both Super Bowl teams made the list. Now look at what New England has done around Drake Maye. A.J. Brown is here. Romeo Doubs is here. Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson give the Patriots an intriguing combination in the backfield. And Maye gets another year working with Josh McDaniels. That's why NFL.com projecting New England as the No. 7 offense in football for 2026 doesn't feel aggressive to me. It feels completely reasonable. The schedule is going to be more difficult. There will be bumps along the way. But New England specifically built this roster around its young quarterback. Now it's time to see what the next step looks like. Can the Patriots finish inside the top 10 again? Can they push toward the top five? And if they do, could this offense once again put New England in position to compete deep into January? The pieces are there. Now Drake Maye and the Patriots have to prove it. #Patriots #NewEnglandPatriots #DrakeMaye #AJBrown #RomeoDoubs #NFL Photo Credit: Robert Deutsch IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
