The Patriots won the first two road games with a 23-20 win at Buffalo and a 25-19 win at New Orleans. The victory over Tennessee marked the Patriots third time winning all three games when playing three straight on the road in a single season. In 1961 the Patriots won their final three games on the road and then in 1985 the Patriots won three straight postseason games played on the road en route to their first Super Bowl appearance. The Patriots have had 24 previous instances of three or more consecutive games on the road in a single season, including the postseason. The Patriots join the Rams (2018), Steelers (2020), Commanders (2020), Cowboys (2021) and Vikings (2024) as teams that have won all three games of a threegame road trip in the last ten years.
