	New England Patriots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Patriots were founded in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League and joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL Merger.
		The Patriots would acquire the top draft pick overall for the 1984 draft, in what was considered one of the weakest draft classes in several years.
		The Patriots lost their opener to the lowly Bengals, and in the first post-9/11 game against the Jets, Bledsoe was severely injured, shearing a blood vessel in his chest after being tackled out of bounds by the Jets' Mo Lewis.

		In 1970 the Patriots became a member of the NFL pursuant to the merger of the AFL and NFL that had been agreed to three years earlier, but their first experience therein was anything but pleasant as they finished 2-12 and in sole possession of the newly-merged league's worst record.
		The Patriots were quickly turned away in the first round by the Cleveland Browns _ the last team to beat New England in the regular season, and coached by future Pats hero Bill Belichick.
		In the 2003 offseason the Patriots picked up several big-name players in free agency such as linebacker Roosevelt Colvin (Colvin was placed on the injured reserve due to an injury early on in the season), safety Rodney Harrison and defensive lineman Ted Washington.
