[edit] Season summary

In 1960, the inaugural season for both the Boston Patriots and the American Football League, the team played in several important "firsts". The first ever AFL exhibition pre-season game was played between the Patriots and the Bills, which the Patriots won. The Patriots also played in the inaugural regular season game, a loss to the Broncos on September 9, 1960. The Patriots started the year going 2-2, before running into a three game losing streak. They played a five game home stand, winning three of them to return their record to 5-5, before ending the season on a four game slide. They finished the year with a 5-9 record, worst in the AFL's Eastern Division.
