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…
PHOTO: Winslow Towson/AP Photos When Matt Judon got a boatload of money in the offseason, Patriots fans were skeptical of a former Raven joining the organization. After all, the Ravens will forever be hated in these parts for kicking off Deflategate and despite Judon’s fairly well known reputation for being an impact guy on the field, surely that Ravens stench would infect the locker room at Gillette. Instead, it’s been…
The Patriots travel to Atlanta this week for Thursday Night Football. Atlanta enters the game at 4-5 and are coming off a blowout loss to Dallas. The Falcons have had their moments this season but they have also been very inconsistent. They are a tough team to play against because you don’t know which team will show up. They pose match up problems across the board. The Patriots lead the…
Image courtesy of yahoo.com It took tight end Hunter Henry a while to get acclimated to the Patriots offense but the free agent acquisition is finally starting to get comfortable in the system and it shows with how much he is producing of late. Henry has caught seven touchdown passes in the Patriots last seven games. He has emerged as Mac Jones go to guy in the red zone. Henry…
Photo courtesy of Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots have won four in a row and yesterday’s demolition of the Cleveland Browns is proof that they are a legitimate playoff contender in the AFC. It might be a little too early to call them a Super Bowl contender but that could change in the coming weeks if they were to beat Atlanta, Tennessee and Buffalo. It took a while for…
The Cleveland Browns invade Gillette Stadium today for a showdown with the Patriots. Both teams are currently 5-4 so there are major ramifications for both teams in this one. The winner would have a much clearer path to the playoffs. Today will be the Patriots 1,000th game as a franchise. It will also be the 26th meeting between the Patriots and the Browns. Cleveland leads the all-time series with a…

This is a matchup of 2 relatively similar teams and should be one that comes down to the wire in Foxborough. Lets look at the matchups New England offense vs Cleveland defense…
Photos: Cleveland Browns Ben Bloom and Drew Petzing have had plenty of experience in the NFL over the last two decades. Petzing’s coaching journey began at Middlebury as a grad assistant and has gone through Harvard, BC, Yale, the Vikings, the Cowboys and the Browns. Bloom took a similar path, graduating from Tufts before working with the program as a grad assistant. Bloom went on to coach at Harvard –…
PHOTO: Grant Halverson/Getty Images We all knew it might be a little ugly at times when Bill Belichick decided to go with a rookie at quarterback. After nine games, Mac Jones has now won more than he’s lost in the NFL and he hasn’t been the reason you lost any of them. I’d say that’s about as good as fans could have hoped for given how things started. Jones was…
PHOTO: Bob Donnan – USA Today Sports Don’t look now, but the season that seemed destined for failure just a few weeks ago is suddenly looking more and more like one of Bill Belichick’s career masterpieces in the making. I believe 2001, 2007, 2011, 2014, 2016 and 2018 will stand as his best work given different circumstances in each of those seasons, but with a third straight win on Sunday,…
