The 2018 season is the New England Patriots' 49th season in the National Football League, their 59th overall and their 19th under head coach Bill Belichick. The Patriots entered the season as two-time defending AFC champions, and will attempt to become only the third team in NFL history to appear in three consecutive Super Bowls (after the 1971–73 Miami Dolphins and 1990–93 Buffalo Bills, who, coincidentally, are also AFC East teams).

Offseason

On February 5, 2018, the Detroit Lions hired Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia to serve as head coach.[1]

On February 6, the Indianapolis Colts announced hiring Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as their new head coach.[2] The next day, McDaniels abruptly rejected the offer citing personal reasons, and decided to stay a part of the Patriots' organization.[3] The controversy surrounding this decision led McDaniels's then-agent Bob LaMonte to terminate their professional relationship.[4]

Suspensions

Wide receiver Julian Edelman was suspended for the first four games of the 2018 season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Edelman, who missed the entire 2017 season due to a torn ACL suffered during the preseason, unsuccessfully appealed the suspension, and returned to the Patriots' roster for the team's Week 5 Thursday Night game vs. the Indianapolis Colts on October 4.[95]
