Patriots: Unlikely 1-2 punch of Stevenson & Bolden might be the difference against Colts on Saturday night

December 17, 2021

Saturday night could very well need to be the Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden show if the Patriots are going to remain the top seed in the AFC. The Colts have talked all week about how they want to put the ball in Mac Jones’ hands by taking away the run. It was announced Friday that Damien Harris’ hamstring injury will prevent him from playing, which could make Indy’s job…

Saturday’s matchup is another historic clash in this feud that’s been going since the Colts were in Baltimore and the Patriots still had the word Boston in front of it. There is an entire generation of Patriots fans that probably don’t even know the Colts were…

Photo: NBC Sports Boston Happy bye week everyone. While it’s always tough for Patriots fans to sit around and watch the rest of the league play instead of firing up those tailgates or hosting those Sunday get-togethers, it’s clear the break comes at a perfect time for the team. Damien Harris pulled up with what looked like a hamstring injury last Monday night and it’s nice that Mac gets a…

Patriots: Are the Pats legitimate Super Bowl contenders? Here’s three reasons why the answer is yes and three reasons why the answer is no

Okay, so none of us thought the Patriots would be in this position back in August, right? Sure, once Mac beat out Cam for the starting job and it was clear he was going to be the guy moving forward, a lot of people believed he’d have what it takes to help lead this team to something better than the 7-9 finish a year ago. But, no one could have…

Patriots: Patriots Turn Back the Clock in Win Over Bills

In a matchup for first place in the AFC East on Monday night, the Patriots traveled back in time to defeat the Bills 14-10. The game was controlled by the weather, with consistent winds at 25-30 mph and gusts over 45 mph throughout the game. As a result, New England only called three passing plays the entire game, gaining just 19 yards through the air. The Patriots ran the ball…

Patriots: Bill Belichick comes up with another masterpiece as Pats beat Bills for seventh straight win

Photo: Al Bello/Getty Images After putting up some impressive numbers and scoring totals during a six-game win streak, all the talk surrounding the huge Monday night matchup in Buffalo was about Mac Jones and whether or not he could handle the elements and pressure of his first Monday night game. So naturally, Bill Belichick decided the best option with 45-50 MPH wind gusts was to run the ball 46 times,…

This is a battle not only for 1st place in the AFC East, but for the number 1…

Patriots: Patriots surrender 270 yards on the ground but still dominate in win

November 29, 2021

AP Photo/Steven Senne FOXBOROUGH- The final score in yesterday’s Patriots would indicate that they dominated the Titans in their 36-13 win but the truth is, they didn’t. The score is misleading. The Patriots led 16-13 at the half but the Titans had outplayed them for most of the half. Perhaps the reason it felt that way was because Tennessee’s running game was so effective. The Titans rushed for 270 yards…

Patriots: Pats get sixth straight win with 36-13 blowout over the Titans

FOXBOROUGH – In case you still weren’t sure about this 2021 Patriots team, Sunday’s 36-13 win over the Titans should be all the proof you need that they’re for real. Sure, the defense gave up 270 total yards rushing, but it also forced four turnovers and held the Titans – albeit with a depleted offense – to just 13 points. Meanwhile, Mac Jones threw for 300+ yards for the second…

In a year where there is seemingly no alpha in the AFC, New England is making the case for that spot. They take on a really impressive Tennessee Titans team who have been great against stiff competition with some…
