With the 2014 regular season officially in the books, it looks like we now know who and where the Patriots will play during the 2015 regular season, although we're still a few months away before we find out exactly when they'll battle each of those respective teams.
However, next season the Patriots will receive visits from the Jaguars, Titans, Redskins, Eagles and Steelers in addition to their normal AFC East Divisional games. On the road, they'll battle the Texans, Giants, Cowboys and will have to head out to Invesco Field at Mile High the next time Tom Brady and Peyton Manning play their next regular season match-up, although there's obviously still the possibility of a showdown between the two this year. The good news for New England is that Manning would have to be in Foxboro with bigger things at stake should the two meet again this postseason.
Most of the opponents weren't a surprise, but they were waiting to find out the AFC North winner (Steelers, who beat Cincinnati last night to win their Division), who will play them at home. The AFC West winner (Denver) is the team they'll play on the road because of the league's rotational format. The Broncos have played in Foxboro during the last two regular seasons, both of which have been wins by the Patriots and New England also beat them at Gillette Stadium in the Divisional round of the postseason back in 2012.
The exact date for the release of the 2015 schedule hasn't been announced yet, which is usually released sometime in April.
