The 2013 New England Patriots season was the franchise’s 44th season in the National Football league and the 54th overall. The Patriots finished 12–4 and with the AFC’s No. 2 seed for a second consecutive season. Along with their seeding New England was awarded a first-round bye in the playoffs for the fourth season in a row only the second such occurrence for any team since the league switched to a 6-team playoff format in 1990 (the others being the 1992-95 Dallas Cowboys).
