2025 Pats join 2016 Pats as only teams with 14 or more wins, no first-team All-Pros

The New England Patriots, despite achieving a 14-3 record, have not had any players named to the Associated Press first-team All-Pro list. This marks only the second instance since 1940 that a team with 14 or more wins failed to have a first-team All-Pro selection. The only other occurrence was the 2016 Patriots, who also had no first-team All-Pro players despite a 14-2 record. That year, quarterback Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons was chosen over Tom Brady. The 2016 Patriots ultimately won Super Bowl LI after a historic comeback. The absence of first-team All-Pro selections in 2023 could serve as additional motivation for the Patriots as they prepare for their first home playoff game since 2019 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
