Is Zach Wilson all of a sudden a competent Quarterback after he beat the Bills? I believe both of those answers are a resounding… no. On the flip side will the Patriots defense continue to be rock solid after the bye week? Will Mac…
The Patriots emerge from their bye week at 5-4 and currently holding on to the seventh and final playoff spot in the AFC. In order for them to remain in playoff position, they will need to run through a difficult second half schedule that is the fourth toughest based on opponent winning percentage as of today. Here’s a look at what’s ahead: Week 11: Home vs NY Jets Coming out…
AP/Mark Schweim The Patriots kickoff the last eight weeks of the season on Sunday when they take on the Jets. After extensively watching film this week, we have decided that these are the five areas the Patriots must be better in if they want to make the playoffs. 1.

Round 1: Guard Cole Strange, The University of Tennessee…
The Patriots defense dominated the Colts en route to a 26-3 win. With the win, the Patriots enter their bye week with a 5-4 record. Here are seven points from today’s win. 1. Defensive domination: The Patriots defense was dominant. They had nine sacks and a pick six. Second year Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger was under pressure all game long and took a beating.

(AP Photo/Stew Milne & NEFJ) FOXBOROUGH – Prior to the game at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, the Patriots – along with the rest of the NFL – had a number of different pregame and in-game ceremonies and acknowledgements for military members. The NFL’s Salute to Service initiative started earlier in the week across the league and the Patriots took part in a pickle ball tournament with 40 different active service…
