This is a big opportunity for the Patriots to get right, but there is a lot going on during game week…
PHOTO: NFL.com Who else thought Nick Folk would clang a 56-yard field goal off the left upright in a driving rainstorm to give Tom Brady the win in his return to Gillette Stadium? The game may not have lived up to the hype in terms of points scored, but the fourth quarter was basically a Hollywood script, with Mac Jones making sure he had a co-starring role right next to…

The weather in Foxborough calls for 75 and sunny, perfect football weather. This is a seemingly even matchup and Vegas seems to agree. Lets break it down….
Photo: NFL.com I’m sure Mac Jones had a bit of a different picture in his head when he dreamed of his first win in the NFL. It wasn’t a 300-yard, four-touchdown performance. It wasn’t a blowout. It wasn’t even all that entertaining, but New England’s 25-6 win over the Jets on Sunday gave Jones the first victory of his career. Jones finished with 186 yards and 22 completions on 30…
Photo: USA Today After costing his team a chance to win against Miami in Week 1, Damien Harris needed to have a bounce back week. Not only did he have an important bounce back performance in a 25-6 win over the Jets, he provided Patriots fans with one of the most impressive runs they’ve seen since the days of clock killin’ Corey Dillon. Harris finished the day with 62 yards…
Photo: Elsa/Getty Images Mac Jones has his first of (hopefully) many NFL wins, but Sunday was all about the defense. The Patriots offense contuined to struggle in the red zone and it appears the coaching staff hasn’t quite taken the reins off of Jones yet, but the defense intercepted Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson four times and sacked him four times in a 25-6 win. Nick Folk also made four…
So what happens if the Patriots lose to the Jets on Sunday? You’re 0-2 coming home with the Saints and some guy named Tom Brady waiting the next two weeks. New England probably falls to 0-4 and for all intents and purposes the season is over. That’s worst case scenario. However, if the the Patriots do lose on Sunday, the season isn’t over and there’s one reason why. The defense….
All preseason long, we’ve seen what type of chaos this defense could create. We saw it again at times on Sunday, but when the unit needed a stop the most in a 17-16 loss to the Dolphins, Miami was able to do whatever they wanted. Matthew Judon and Josh Uche were as advertised, making big boy plays that made your jaw drop. On the flip side of that, the secondary…
Everyone remembers the Jets game in 2001 as the game that changed the course of Patriots history. That day, of course, was when Drew Bledsoe was smoked on the sideline, forcing Tom Brady into action and the rest as they say is history. However, people often forget the emotional scene that took place before that game as Joe Andruzzi – a Patriots lineman at the time for those not old…

In the first round, sitting at pick 15, Mac Jones fell to New England who scooped him up quickly after staying put during Justin Fields‘ slide. Mac had one of the best college…
