Brian Burns vs. Vedarian Lowe: Burns is second in the NFL in…

It’s that time of year again. For as long as NEFJ has been lucky enough to cover the Patriots daily (year five now), we always try to ask a bunch of players for their favorite high school or college memories centered around Thanksgiving. This year, I was able to get a good mix of guys that have experienced playing on the actual day, while others were shocked to learn that…
The Patriots received a significant, albeit mixed, injury update regarding rookie left tackle Will Campbell, who was carted off the field in the third quarter of Sunday’s 26-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Initial fears of a season-ending injury, heightened by the rookie’s visible distress as he was helped off, appear to have been avoided.

But, injuries to rookie offensive linemen Jared Wilson and Will Campbell – both were carted off – there’s now…

The Patriots visit the Cincinnati Bengals this week. Cincinnati is on a historic path of ineptitude defensively. They are statistically one of the worst defenses of all-time so offensively, the Patriots should be able to do whatever they want. Defensively, not having to face Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase is huge. They are arguably the best tandem in the NFL. Despite both being out, this offense can still pose some…
