New England Patriots 1998 Season Schedule & Scores

Overall record:	9-7
Home record:	6-2
Away record:	3-5

In 1998, the New England Patriots capped the season with a 9-7 record, missing out on the playoffs—a noticeable decline from their hopeful 10-6 finish the prior year and the dawn of the Bill Belichick era. Though they commenced the season on a high note, the Patriots stumbled in the latter half, dropping five of their final seven games. Quarterback Drew Bledsoe faced challenges with injuries and turnovers, while the defense failed to find consistency. This underwhelming performance hinted at a turbulent chapter ahead in the team's history.
