The 2024 season was the New England Patriots' 55th in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, and their 23rd playing home games at Gillette Stadium, and the first year under a new de facto general manager, executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf, and their only season under head coach Jerod Mayo.
The Patriots matched their AFC-worst 4–13 record from the previous year, unable to improve upon it following a Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. They started 1–6 while also losing 6 straight games for the first time since 1993. The Patriots failed to end their four-year AFC East title drought after a Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins dropping them to 3–9, guaranteeing their third losing season in a row and their fourth in five years. The Patriots were eliminated from playoff contention the following week with a loss to the Indianapolis Colts coupled with the Houston Texans beating the Jacksonville Jaguars. After an upset win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 18, Jerod Mayo was fired after just one season.[1] That same win also eliminated their chance of obtaining the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.[2] In addition, after the New York Jets defeated the Dolphins later that day, the Patriots finished in last place in the AFC East, the first time since the 1999 and 2000 the Patriots finished last in the AFC East in consecutive seasons.
This was the first season since 1999 without long time head coach Bill Belichick, as he and the Patriots mutually agreed to part ways on January 11.[3] A day later, linebacker coach Jerod Mayo was hired as the 15th head coach in franchise history; Mayo had played with the team between 2008 and 2015, winning Super Bowl XLIX with them. This was also the first season since 2007 without special teams star Matthew Slater on the roster after he announced his retirement on February 20.
