Kickoff: The Patriots face an early season must win scenario in New York today when they square off against the Jets. New England has dominated the Jets of late winning their last 14 games against them, home or away, dating back to 2015. A win today would be a step in the right direction and it would help calm down an unsettled fan base. Four Downs: Four keys for the Patriots 1….
Bill Belichick isn’t looking to filibuster a press conference at any point in time, but Friday morning’s end of the week presser lasted roughly three minutes. That’s short even for him. Usually, Friday’s are a bit more light-hearted and he’ll engage on just about anything, but not this time. By my count, BB said just 100 words while answering 11 questions. ‘Jets Week’ is always a big one around 1…
The Patriots made three transactions yesterday, signing quarterback Will Grier off the Bengals practice squad and signing cornerbacks CB Breon Borders and CB Azizi Hearn to the practice squad.

Grier, 28, was a third-round pick of the Carolina Panthers in the 2019 draft. He started two games as a…

New England heads into this matchup having won 14 straight…

Brown made the move back to left tackle last season and started every game. Despite…

It’s hard to call a game in September ‘must win” at any level, but it’s pretty damn close to that scenario this Sunday for the Patriots. Already 0-2 for the first time since 2001, the Patriots travel to New Jersey this weekend to face the Jets. On paper, dealing with Zach Wilson should be easy, but at this point in the New England experience, there is no longer a guarantee…
