By Mason Sousa, NEFTBJ Contributor Welp. This hurts. And by the looks of it Mac Jones was in a world of hurt on the final Patriots offensive play of the game in Week 3 as well. It’s on to recovery of a high ankle sprain for Mac and it’s on to Green Bay for the rest of the New England Patriots. It’s one thing to lose a game, it’s another…
Mac Jones suffered a severe high ankle sprain in the Patriots 37-26 loss to the Ravens on Sunday and he and the team are still discussing a path forward. Some reports have indicated Jones is seeking a second opinion and that surgery could be an option. The injury is likely to sideline him for at least four weeks and perhaps as much as eight. Jones has had a difficult start…

Lamar Jackson is the most dangerous offensive player in the NFL and a big reason for that is his physical skill set but it is also the design of the Ravens running game and play action passing game. Ravens Offensive coordinator Greg Roman does a great job of game planning Baltimore’s run game and meshing it to the Ravens passing game. Roman has been at this for a long time….
FOXBOROUGH – Around 1:20 on Thursday, Vince Wilfork walked into a small little library-like room inside The Hall at Patriots Place in a green t-shirt with some of his family close by. Wilfork was presented his red Patriots HOF jacket, slipped it on and made sure it fit just right. It did, and he officially kicked off his Hall of Fame induction weekend meeting with the media and then taking…
By Mason Sousa Bill Belichick called him a “MVP type of candidate.” The Patriots will host the former MVP Lamar Jackson as they play in front of their fans for the first time this year in Week 3. Jackson not only fits that quote from Bill Belichick but he’s also betting on himself more so than any other player has, one might say. He is arguably the most significant talent…
When the Patriots got smoked by the Bills in the playoffs last year one thing was painfully obvious: their linebackers were too slow. The team proceeded to overhaul the unit in the offseason. Super Bowl heroes Dont’a Hightower and Kyle Van Noy were not brought back, Mack Wilson was acquired from Cleveland and Raekwon McMillan was given a bigger role. Jahlani Tavai has also been given a large role and…
