FOXBOROUGH- The Patriots dominated the New York Giants from start to finish in an impressive 33-15 win on Monday Night Football.

Kickoff: The Patriots host the struggling New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The G-Men have been competitive this season but have struggled with consistency and finishing games.

Despite their struggles, this Giants team has been in a lot of close games this season and I would expect them to play the Patriots tough. Here…

Initial fears of a season-ending injury, heightened by the rookie’s visible distress as he was helped off, appear to have been avoided. According to reports, Campbell is believed to have suffered an MCL sprain, which an MRI…

Not because they had just grabbed win No. 10, remaining the top team in the AFC, but because they were able to Face Time Jahlani Tavai and celebrate with him for a bit while Tavai is tending to a serious family matter.
