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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
PHOTO: Brynn Anderson/AP Photos Since giving up 567 yards to the Cowboys and falling two games below .500, the Patriots have become a completely different team. The defense has given up a total of 1,273 yards during a five game winning streak. It seems like a big number, but it’s actually an average of just 254.6 yards per game. The Patriots manhandled the Falcons on Thursday night and despite the…

After a dismantling of a good Cleveland Browns team, they take on a foe that they have some good memories with, the Atlanta Falcons. This is a primetime game for the Patriots who are looking to solidify their contender status in the AFC. Lets look…
