Well, it hasn’t been every week for the Patriots, […]

FOXBOROUGH – Just like his head coach, Mac Jones remains optimistic about his team’s offense.

FOXBOROUGH – You don’t need to give any reminders to any member of the New England Patriots’ defense how their last matchup with the Buffalo Bills went.

The New England Patriots’ 2022 season was always going to be defined by how well they faced the league’s elite teams, with the Buffalo Bills being the biggest measuring stick of them all.
