Only 60 minutes stand between the Patriots and the end of the preseason. Mercifully. Sunday night’s preseason game against the Giants (6:30 p.m., WBZ) is the final tuneup before beginning preparation for the Miami Dolphins in arguably one of the most anticipated seasons in recent history. Roster spots are still on the line, the quarterback situation is still a complete mind-bleep, the cornerback questions without Gilmore remain plentiful and what…

The Patriots have had one of the best secondaries in the NFL in recent years and this year should be no different.

Losing Patrick Chung to retirement hurts because he is so versatile and can play in all three levels of the defense but Bill Belichick added Jalen…

The Patriots 24-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday prompted pundits and fans alike to declare that the season is over and that it is time to ship away any valuable commodities on the roster.
