The Patriots came out victorious, winning by a final score of 22-13.

Throughout training camp, Kristian Wilkerson has made sure people have noticed him. The speedy second-year wide receiver has made an impact in a bunch of practices. Whether it’s deep balls, crossers over the middle or a comeback, Wilkerson has shown the ability to separate, make a catch and then turn it into bigger play with his running ability when he has the opportunity. On Thursday night in his first game…
No matter who the Patriots quarterback is this season, their job may be a lot easier. Not because of the wide receivers or tight ends they signed and not just because of their outstanding offensive line, but because this group of running backs may be one of the best in the NFL and it was on display Thursday night. Led by rookie Rhamondre Stevenson (127 yards, 2 TD’s, one for…
If this were a prize fight, Mac Jones would be up 1-0 through the first round. After some see-saw days throughout training camp, Jones and Cam Newton took their competition to the game field on Thursday night for the first football game at Gillette Stadium since Tom Brady’s final game as a Patriot. New England beat Washington 22-13, but the only thing that mattered to the majority of the people…

After coming off their worst season in 20 years, the New England Patriots kickoff its preseason schedule with a date with the Washington Football Team on Thursday night at Gillette Stadium (7:30 p.m.). With players coming and going this past offseason, there will certainly be plenty of things to look for in all three phases of the game for the Pats. Washington will be looking to build off their surprising…
FOXBOROUGH – For the final time before their first preseason game, the Pats were back at practice on a muggy Tuesday afternoon. This one was a bit different as the team was inside Gillette Stadium for the second time in five days, this time for a public practice. Here’s what stood out as the team prepared for the Washington Football Team… -As fans entered the stadium the very first song…
We’ve all been there at one point or another. Looking on LinkedIn, completely unsure of what the future holds, praying that something falls into your lap. Patriots kicker Quinn Nordin was just like us, debating on his next step in life after going undrafted out of Michigan when he got a phone call from the Patriots. Now, with veteran Nick Folk missing time in training camp, Nordin has taken an…

In the first round, sitting at pick 15, Mac Jones fell to New England who scooped him up quickly after staying put during Justin Fields‘ slide. Mac had one of the best college…
