The Patriots are heading to Europe for a second straight season, but they won’t get an extended break following their trip in 2024.
New England will not have a bye week after it takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London in Week 7. It’ll head back stateside and host the New York Jets in Week 8, playing six games after the London trip before a bye in Week 14.
That’s obviously a change from last season, when the Patriots had a bye following their Week 10 trip to Frankfurt, Germany, against the Colts. It’s also different from how most teams approach trips overseas, often taking a bye week following a game.
