The New England Patriots kicked off the 2025 season with a bang.

After immortalizing Tom Brady with a 12-foot bronze statue that was unveiled outside Gillette Stadium, the Patriots cruised to a 48-18 victory over the Washington Commanders in their preseason opener.

While the Commanders played a majority of their backups, there were still plenty of positives to take from New England’s win, including several dynamic plays by rookies TreVeyon Henderson and Efton Chism III.
