What happened: The New England Patriots held a morning practice at the FC Bayern Training Ground in Munich on Friday, working in low-40s temperatures under partly cloudy skies. The workout began at 12:30 p.m. local time with an emphasis on red-zone execution and picking up pace. The session followed Thursday's Munich walkthrough at Bayern's training ground.
Why it matters: New England is 5-4 through nine games and currently occupies the final wild-card position as the AFC's No. 7 seed. The Patriots are looking to reset fundamentals following a 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 8. Establishing offensive rhythm abroad is pivotal as the team attempts to halt a one-game slide.
By the numbers: • 2026 record: 5-4 through 9 games (AFC seed 7, streak L1) • Last game: Lost 27-45 vs. Green Bay Packers (Nov. 8, 2026)
What to watch: The Patriots continue their international schedule ahead of kickoff in Germany this weekend.
