There has been a lot of change in the AFC East this offseason, but Sam Darnold won't view the division's dominating force any differently.
Tom Brady left the New England Patriots for the NFC, the Buffalo Bills traded for Stefon Diggs and the Miami Dolphins drafted Tua Tagovailoa. The loss of Brady in New England, obviously, generated the biggest headlines.
"For us, every single game in the NFL is a tough one, and I think any player can attest to that," Darnold said. "So we're not going to take anyone more or less lightly just because — even though one of the greatest players, if not the greatest player of all time, left the organization. We're not going to take [the Patriots] any more lightly."
