Kickoff: The Patriots will look to turn their season around this afternoon when they visit old friend Josh McDaniels and the Las Vegas Raiders. New England is coming off of a humiliating 34-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints at home while the Raiders will look to make it two in a row after beating the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. Here are four keys to the game….
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones could be on a “short leash” in today’s game against the Raiders. Jones has been benched each of the last two games against the Cowboys and Saints and could be sat down much earlier today if he struggles early according to Rapoport. Rapoport also reported that both Bailey Zappe and Will Grier got more reps with the first team offense…
The Patriots made a series of moves ahead of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The most prominent move was elevating quarterback/wide receiver Malik Cunningham from the practice squad and signing him to a three year deal. Cunningham got reps this week and is expected to be a part of this week’s game plan. Bill Belichick talked about Cunningham’s growth and improvement in his Friday morning press conference. “Malik’s…
PROVIDENCE – Senior wide receiver Graham Walker went from possibly costing Brown a chance to tie today’s game against Princeton to winning it for them in overtime. Walker caught a pass along the Brown sideline and fumbled. Princeton recovered and all seemed lost. Luckily for Walker, the Bears defense got a key stop and gave the offense the ball which allowed them to tie the game. The Bears went on…
Connecticut Darien and Greenwich meet on Saturday at 1:30 in Greenwich in what should be one of the best games of the season thus far. Both are undefeated and there’s a contrast in style here with the Cardinals offense and the Blue Wave defense. Should be a great match up. New Canaan looked impressive in a 45-7 win against St. Joe’s. The Cadets have had the Rams number in recent…
Starting quarterback Mac Jones days as a starter could be numbered if he continues to play the way he has the past two weeks. If he has another bad game this week, he could end up on the bench. Jones has been benched twice the past two weeks in favor of Bailey Zappe but the next time he does get benched, it could be permanent and it could be for…
In a story published earlier this week by The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, Patriots owner Robert Kraft would not hesitate to fire Bill Belichick. The story cited Kraft displeasure with this season thus far and the overall direction of the franchise as the reasons he would part ways with Belichick. Both are valid concerns but moving on from Belichick is far from a slam dunk. Have you looked at what’s out there…
