The New England Patriots are 2-3 through five games of the 2026 season, second in the AFC East and trending up fast. Three of New England’s losses came against top-tier teams, and a Week 5 blowout of the Raiders made the Patriots the clearest riser on most national boards. With a Munich game, a Week 11 bye and a late-season run of winnable matchups, New England has a real path back toward .500 and the division race.
