It's the start of a new era for the New England Patriots as they take on the Cincinnati Bengals on the opening weekend of the 2024 NFL season.

Legendary head coach Bill Belichick bid farewell at the end of a disastrous season and Jerod Mayo is the man tasked with the daunting rebuild of the Patriots dynasty.

Cincinnati fell victim to a ridiculously competitive AFC North and Joe Burrow will be targeting a return to the playoffs, preferably with the help of Ja'Marr Chase amid his ongoing contract dispute.
