By The New England Patriots have many miles awaiting them in the 2024 NFL season.
That tends to happen when you have an international trip to London and multiple games across the country on the schedule. On a positive note, Patriots players should have plenty of time watching film and learning the playbook with the incredible distance they’re expected to travel this year.
It could also go a long way in team bonding down the stretch. The Patriots are a relatively young team that experienced a bevy of changes in the offseason. They have some growing to do, and this harsh travel schedule could help them do that.
Here’s where they rank amongst 31 other NFL teams (according to Google Earth) in distance they will travel in 2024:
