The New England Patriots have officially announced their 2026 schedule, and analyst Kay Adams highlighted a game she's looking forward to watching this season.
Adams reviewed her favorite games from the 2026 schedule and named the Denver Broncos vs. Patriots matchup her top pick on the entire NFL schedule.
"The AFC Championship game last year was the biggest what-if we'll never know what would have happened if Bo Nix had been out there," Adams said Friday on "Up & Adams". "Jaylen Waddle, the new addition, and A.J. Brown, against Patrick Surtain II. Yes, please."

Both teams faced off last season in the AFC title game in Denver, where the Patriots emerged victorious, winning 10-7 during a snowstorm that hit in the second half.
However, the snowstorm wasn’t the only major setback of the game, as Nix was sidelined after suffering a season-ending ankle injury in the previous matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
Hopefully, both quarterbacks are healthy for this season's game, as they could be the two best teams in the AFC. It should be an awesome game to watch!
