The NFL regular season is upon us and the preseason concludes this weekend with an appearance by a top 2024 NFL draft pick and a duel of new head coaches when the New England Patriots visit the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Streaming on Peacock.

Sunday’s game is likely to determine the second draft pick of the 2024 NFL Draft Jayden Daniels the Commanders, who take the third overall pick Drake May the Patriots, to Commanders head coach Daniel Quinn (who took over after Ron Rivera was fired at the end of last season) announced on Friday that he had seen enough of Daniels’ preseason game (Quinn had said earlier this week that what he had seen from the LSU product was already good enough to name him the team’s starter.) In the meantime, the Patriots’ new head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters on Friday that Jacoby Brissett the game would startMaye was also used.

“Jacoby (Brissett) will start the game,” Mayo said. “Drake will play, too.” Joe (Milton II) will play too. Now you can sleep. Bailey (Zappe) We have some players who are dealing with minor issues and probably won’t play and are preparing for the regular season – some of our proven players.”

For New England, 2024 will be an attempt to turn things around after finishing last season 4-13, their worst finish since the 1992 season. The Patriots parted ways with Bill Belichick at the end of the 2023 season, with Mayo, a former Patriots linebacker and former Belichick assistant coach, taking over.

The Commanders also finished 2023 with a record of 4-13. Both Washington and New England also suffered losses in the preseason. The Patriots lost to the Eagles 14-13 and the Commanders lost to the Dolphins 13-6. Sunday is the final preseason game for both teams before the regular season begins in September.
