The Patriots, Chiefs game slated for Monday night December 18th at Gillette has been flexed to Sunday December 17th at 1 pm. It is the first time the NFL has ever flexed out a Monday Night Football game. The decision to flex the game is a no brainer considering the fact that the Patriots are 2-9 and not competitive. Flexing the game out is also embarrassing for Patriots Owner Robert…
Image courtesy of New England Patriots FOXBOROUGH – From the time the power went out (twice) at Gillette Stadium early on Monday night, there was a strange feeling in the air that things would get weird when the Bears visited for a primetime matchup. Boy, did they ever. The Pats trailed by 10 early with Mac Jones starting. Jones was pulled for Bailey Zappe after just three series, and Zappe…
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,…
The storylines heading into the massive Patriots and Bills matchup on Monday Night Football are seemingly endless, but there’s really only one thing fans in New England want to know at the end of the night. Can Mac Jones handle the NFL’s biggest stage in a difficult environment? 352 days ago, December 19, 2020, Jones and Alabama put up 52 points against Florida in the SEC title game. Now, almost…
AP Photo/Mark LoMoglio This is a nightmare scenario for Patriots fans who wanted the team to at least be “meh” this season while also watching Tom Brady succeed in Tampa. Unfortunately, the Pats are worse than “meh” and with an ugly 27-24 home loss on Monday Night Football against the Rams, it’s see to wonder if Brady might be one-and-done in the playoffs for the second straight season. Luckily for…
Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots beat the Jets 30-27 on a 51-yard Nick Folk field goal as time expired on Monday night, but was it even worth it? New England (3-5) was in a dog fight against the now 0-9 Jets, and with the AFC East all but out of reach as Buffalo sits at 7-2, Monday night’s game was a cruel reminder of where this organization is at…
Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports Tom 6, Bill 2. It’s obviously not that simple, but as it stands after Monday night’s 25-23 win for the Buccaneers, Brady is winning the first round of the “was it the coach or quarterback?” argument that will last for decades. Brady technically needed a non-pass interference call to get to 6-2 on the year, but the Bucs are now second in the NFC, just behind…
Charlie Riedel/Associated Press This was setting up to potentially be one of the greatest regular season wins in franchise history. October 5, 2020 was going to be a night Patriots fans remembered in the same class as the comeback against Denver on that frigid night in Foxborough or, Drew Bledsoe’s win over Minnesota. The incredible story was unfolding before all of our eyes. New England’s starting quarterback was diagnosed with…
