(AP Photo/Charles Krupa) FOXBOROUGH – They’re still on board. After a full week of turmoil and questions about both the staff and roster, the Pats showed they’re still willing to fight. With Drake Maye out with a concussion after taking a hit in the second quarter, Jacoby Brissett entered the game. He wasn’t great by any means, but with the game on the line, the veteran QB led a 12-play,…

Sophia Sargent NEFJ Correspondent FOXBOROUGH – The New England Patriots have to make sure that players are on the same page moving forward both on the field and in the locker room. After spending time on Wednesday at Gillette Stadium, it’s clear that even heading into Week 8 in the season, there’s no common ground on how players use social media to share thoughts, feelings, or moments in their careers….

As Kendrick Bourne stood in the Revolution locker room (more room in there) with a gaggle of TV cameras and reporters around him on Thursday, he was honest, forthright and blunt about what’s wrong with the Patriots right now. As one of the few veteran leaders this team has, Bourne hasn’t been afraid to speak up about some things that he’s seen when it comes to the younger players. The…

It’s a tough time to be Drake Maye right now. Not only is the weight of the world (figuratively speaking) on his shoulders being the next franchise quarterback of the Patriots, but his coaches and teammates aren’t really doing him any favors. Whether it’s the staff messing up ‘the plan’ and the messaging around it, or the off-field issues key players have dealt with, or injuries, or poor play calling,…

After last year’s debacle in Germany, the Patriots were back on the international stage as the only game in town on Sunday morning, this time from London. After jumping out to a quick 10-point lead, the Pats had a meltdown in all three phases…

Image courtesy of Houston Chronicle  Folks deserve to be excited about Drake Maye after his good but far from perfect first NFL start. However, those that sat in the seats at Gillette Stadium on Sunday watched the defense let the rookie down against the Texans in a 41-21 loss. This is a team game and Drake Maye would never say that – not should he as a first year player…

Image courtesy of AP Photo/Charles Krupa FOXBOROUGH – We all knew this, but it turns out there’s a lot more wrong with the Patriots than just the quarterback play. Drake Maye’s first start in the NFL was an ugly reminder of just how much improvement this Patriots roster needs as the Texans walked into Gillette Stadium and handed the Pats a 41-21 loss. This was the type of game that…

Vedarian Lowe vs. Danielle Hunter is a key match up today. The Houston Texans are one of the most talented teams in the NFL and they present legitimate match up problems across the board. The Patriots could have a difficult time matching up. Especially up front. Here are five match-ups to watch in today’s game. 1. Drake Maye vs. the Texans D: The Texans will come after Maye. DeMeco Ryan’s…

That night, Burke celebrated as everyone raised a New England sports fan did. It was the same way he celebrated each championship he saw the Patriots win up until 2003. In 2004, the guy who grew up…

the Patriots defense care that Drake Maye is now the starting quarterback? Sure, but maybe not as much as we all think. The news came down on Tuesday afternoon, which is when many players found out through social media or group texts. Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett knew Monday night when Jerod Mayo called them. Mayo held a team meeting on Wednesday morning to officially announce it to the 53-man…
