The day after Thanksgiving, Truman Jones was like most people, just sitting at home not doing much of anything after the holiday. That quickly changed when he learned he’d have to hop on a flight back to some very familiar territory. After being released from the Chiefs practice squad on November 26th, the Patriots decided to bring the former star Harvard big man in for a workout last Monday. Things…
FOXBOROUGH – So, I know. At first glance, you’re probably saying ‘what?!’ when reading the title. Don’t get me wrong. The final drive is inexcusable, especially when you consider Indianapolis went 4-4 on ‘gotta have it’ plays to extend the game. But, I actually didn’t think the defense was all that bad on Sunday. Is Anthony Richardson Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen? Of course not, but New England has struggled…
FOXBOROUGH- The Patriots lost a heartbreaker to the Colts this afternoon at Gillette. Leading 24-17 with just over eight minutes left in the game, the Patriots defense gave up a 19 play, 80 yard drive that culminated in an Anthony Richardson to Alec Pierce 3 yard touchdown pass. Richardson would barrel his way in on the two point conversion to give the Colts a 25-24 lead with eight seconds left. …

New England led by one with a little over five minutes left in a matchup of two mediocre-at-best teams on Sunday. The Colts proceeded to put together a 19-play march spanning 80 yards in just over five minutes. Anthony Richardson hit Alec Pierce for a two-yard touchdown on 4th-&-goal with the game on…

The Colts won last season’s meeting in Germany, 10-6 in one of the worst losses in recent Patriots history. New England will look to avenge that loss today. In order to do that, they must win…
Kickoff: The Patriots host a familiar opponent and old AFC East rival, the Indianapolis Colts today at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots are coming off of a 34-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins last week. The Colts lost 24-6 to the Lions last week at home. Both teams have a much needed bye week next week. Here are four keys to today’s game for the Patriots. 1st Down: Pressure Richardson: The…

Just like you and me, the New England Patriots are celebrating and as athletes, they’re definitely not holding back on the eats. I got to chat with a few of the guys in…
If there was ever going to be a ‘rookie wall’ for younger players on the Patriots, it’s this season. Sitting at 3-9 and clearly limping to the finish line, most of the rookies on the Patriots will have had their seasons winding down by this point or within the next couple of weeks as college players just 10 or 11 months ago. Even those that could be on teams making…
In a bit of a surprise on Monday around 4:00 p.m., the NFL announced the reinstatement of Jabrill Peppers from the Commissioner Exempt List. This means that Peppers – who as of this past Friday had a jury trial date set for January 22nd – can participate in team activities, including practices and games. It remains to be seen whether the Patriots will welcome him back when the team practices…
