For the fourth time in the last five years, the New England Patriots will finish a season below .500, which coincides with the time the team decided to part ways with Tom Brady.
On Sunday, the team plays its final home game and its final game overall as it faces off against the Buffalo Bills.
As the 13-3 Buffalo Bills prepare to face the 3-13 New England Patriots in the final week of the regular season, Patriots fans do not look to be enthusiastic to see the team play one more time.
One picture surfaced outside Gillette Stadium, showing that New England Patriots fans were not trying to see their terrible squad.

The Patriots were hoping to improve on their 4–13 record last year, but now they only have a chance to tie it or finish even worse.

Insider Expects The New England Patriots to Fire Jerod Mayo
Could the New England Patriots move on from head coach Jerod Mayo after just one season?
That has been a hot topic heading into Week 18.
Mike Girardi of the Boston Sports Journal has predicted that the Patriots will fire Mayo.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter also added that he thinks the franchise will part ways with him.
“All along, the Kraft family has wanted to stand by him and give him support. He was the hand-chosen successor to Bill Belichick,” Schefter said on Sunday NFL Countdown. “But over the last 30 days or so, the team has struggled, they’ve lost at home, fans have been angered, they’ve been apathetic, and it feels like within the organization—there’s been a shift,” Schefter said. “There’s nervous people inside the building right now. We are gonna go ‘leaning OUT’ right now for Jerod Mayo.”
The 3–13 Patriots face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday to finish out the 2024 season.
