The 2021 New England Patriots enjoyed a resurgent season, finishing with a 10-7 record and securing a wild-card playoff berth behind the impressive debut of rookie quarterback Mac Jones. Led by a dominant defense that ranked second in the league in points allowed, the team featured four Pro Bowlers and highlighted their campaign with a powerful seven-game winning streak. A four-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker and elite pass rusher, Matthew Judon was a dominant defensive force for the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots who recorded 72 career sacks and earned multiple double-digit sack seasons throughout his nine-year NFL career.
