PHOTO: Bob Donnan – USA Today Sports Don’t look now, but the season that seemed destined for failure just a few weeks ago is suddenly looking more and more like one of Bill Belichick’s career masterpieces in the making. I believe 2001, 2007, 2011, 2014, 2016 and 2018 will stand as his best work given different circumstances in each of those seasons, but with a third straight win on Sunday,…

The Patriots collectively rushed for 154 yards on 36 carries, their fifth straight game of over 100 yards rushing. Rookie Rhamondre Stevenson paced the rushing attack with 62 yards on 10…

The NFL trade deadline is today and several NFL teams that are contending will look to improve their roster. One of those teams should be the Patriots. The Patriots can either upgrade their roster or use the deadline to acquire future draft capital by trading a player like N’Keal Harry. New England could use another playmaker on offense so perhaps they could use Harry and a late round pick to…

PHOTO: Kirby Lee-USA Today The Patriots didn’t just beat the Chargers 27-24 on Sunday, it was a much needed reminder that Bill Belichick is still pretty good at what he does.

Dismantling the Jets 54-13 was certainly a confidence boast for the Patriots. However, if they don’t build off of that performance and play well today, it was all for naught. The Patriots must prove today that what they did to the Jets last week, is who they are. It can’t be that they just beat up on a really bad football team. Today’s game against the Chargers is an opportunity…
