Bill Belichick will match wits with former Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels today. Both Belichick and McDaniels know each other well so there aren’t many secrets. Despite that, both will have change ups for each other today in an effort to break tendencies and show some different things. McDaniels has been pretty consistent with what the Raiders do offensively this season. They want to run the football, play-action pass and…

It wasn’t pretty but the Patriots beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-13 in a must win. The defense led the way with six sacks, a turnover and a defensive score but the offense did its part as well despite being down its top four offensive players.

In a now famous clip, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones boiled over on the sidelines against the Bills, extolling his coaches and teammates to push the ball down the field more because the quick passing game “sucks”. On Monday against Arizona, the Patriots will have the perfect opportunity to grant Jones his wish. The Cardinals come into the game at 4-8, losers of four out of their last five. In that…

For a little while on Tuesday morning, Bill Belichick was in a good mood, smiling during his press conference and giving thoughtful answers during his first press conference of the week. By the end of it, the media workroom at Gillette Stadium was pretty tense as Belichick answered questions and defended the offensive system, staff and play calling that has been under so much scrutiny this season. “We’re not going…
