As the 2015 regular season comes to a close, the 2016 regular season schedule is coming together. While the dates and time are to be determined, here’s a look at what teams the New England Patriots play at home or on the road next year.
Home Opponents: Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams
Road Opponents: Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers
Quick Take: Aside from their normal divisional rivals, the Patriots will face the AFC North and NFC West divisions in 2016. On top of that, they’ll play the AFC West and AFC South division winners.
When the schedule is complete, likely in April or May, we’ll take a deeper dive into each opponent, but it’s not a walk in the park. The AFC North always seems to play New England tough and the NFC West is full of tough teams as they’re currently constituted.
