Since Josh Allen was drafted by the Buffalo Bills, it has been known that he has a strong arm and he showed that off on Saturday.

With the playoffs just around the corner, the Baltimore Ravens are viewed as Super Bowl favorites, and based on the way they have played throughout the season, it’s hard to deny that. The Ravens have won 10 in a row to improve to 12-2 on the year, and Lamar Jackson looks like the frontrunner to […]

Near the beginning of the season, the New England Patriots had to reluctantly release Antonio Brown just two weeks after signing him. What if the Patriots hadn’t released Brown earlier this season? The Patriots released Brown due to his former trainer accusing him of sexual assault. With the NFL continuing to undergo an investigation on […]

Being selected to the NFL Pro Bowl is an outstanding accomplishment. Players who perform the best during a given season should be rewarded with the nod. The reality is that players’ legacies are partly defined by the number of times they are named to the Pro Bowl. That’s why it’s frustrating when the players who […]

Randy Moss is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL if New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is to be believed. He considers the former-wideout-turned-analyst as one of the most intelligent players he’s ever had the privilege of coaching. The Patriots head coach talked about what it was like to coach the […]

Larry Fitzgerald has been one of the top wide receivers in the NFL for quite some time, but he is entering the final stages of his career and could end up retiring after this season. The Arizona Cardinals have had the luxury of having the veteran star on their roster for his entire career thus […]

The New England Patriots can put a bow on their 11th straight AFC East division title with a win over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, but it might not be so easy. While the Patriots are 11-3, the feisty Bills are 10-4 in their own right, and it’s rare that New England is actually threatened […]

Although the New England Patriots managed to be the Cincinnati Bengals handily in Week 15, running back Joe Mixon found a silver lining by getting to meet quarterback Tom Brady in person. The starstruck Mixon was admittedly too afraid to ask Brady for his jersey, however, the future Hall of Fame went ahead and granted […]

The New England Patriots can wrap up the AFC East with a win on Saturday against the Buffalo Bills. The first time these two teams played it wasn’t the prettiest game, but the Patriots were still able to come away with a win. Can they wrap up the division? Let’s break down three bold predictions […]

The Buffalo Bills still have a chance to win the AFC East, but they need to win their game on Saturday against the New England Patriots to keep their hope alive. The first time these two teams faced off this year the Bills were in it until the end, but they couldn’t make the big […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is expected to play in his team’s AFC East showdown with the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

There are only two weeks remaining in the NFL regular season as we enter Week 16. With just two weeks left, fantasy football playoffs are also coming to a close in the coming weeks.

In one of the more surprising storylines of the 2019 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills and Devin Singletary are on their way to the playoffs. The Bills own a 10-4 record, only one game behind the New England Patriots for the AFC East lead. Buffalo faces those very same Patriots on Saturday in a game […]

New England Patriots Dont’a Hightower is officially a two-time Pro Bowler. On Tuesday, the NFL named him as a starter for his efforts in 2019, which surprised many, including himself. “It’s a huge honor, man,” Hightower told reporters Wednesday, via WEEI’s Ryan Hannable. “I definitely was not planning on that this year. I definitely have, obviously, […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman was with the Patriots for “Deflategate,” a saga that alienated the Pats against Roger Goodell and the NFL. Edelman thinks that New England’s most recent controversy–which involves a team videographer illegally taping the Cincinnati Bengals sideline–is just as ridiculous in nature. The veteran wideout called the incident a […]

New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore thinks he should be the Defensive Player of the Year. His former (briefly) teammate James Harrison seems to agree. Harrison said on FOX Sports’ “The Herd” on Wednesday (h/t The Patriots Wire): “I have to give it to Gilmore. He is shutting down whole players, whole sides of fields. […]

Julian Edelman didn’t earn the nickname The Squirrel without reason. The same can be said about Slottie Pippen or Minitron. The New England Patriots’ go-to receiver is as tough as they come. Edelman’s 2019 campaign is a testament to his toughness that earned him the litter of nicknames. Throughout the year, the star 33-year-old has […]

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick knows how important this weekends game is against the Buffalo Bills and says it absolutely has a playoff feel. Bill Belichick asked if this matchup — with the division still up for grabs — has a playoff feel to it. “Absolutely. Absolutely. That’s what we’re here for.” — Phil […]

The New England Patriots are in desperate need of anyone to step up on the offensive side of the ball. Their skill positions have been weak all season. The Patriots are coming off of a 34-13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The schedule granted them another game against one of the worst teams in the […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman has caught 563 passes from Tom Brady with 36 of those going for touchdowns. There has been a lot of big connections between the two, but there is one that stands out above the rest for Edelman. What is the touchdown for Edelman that stands out above the […]

New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore has a very simple message for the rest of the NFL: He is the Defensive Player of the Year. In an interview with Zolak and Bertrand, Gilmore said his play has spoke for itself, and there is no question he should be taking home the award. “My play speaks […]

The Buffalo Bills have perhaps their biggest game of the season ahead of them; a showdown with the division rival New England Patriots looms on the horizon. It will likely be a contest in which the defense will again need to play at an elite level, even if the Pats are struggling to score consistently. […]

The New England Patriots are 11-3 on the season and seem to be on their way to earning yet another first-round bye in the playoffs, but only three of their players notched Pro Bowl selections this season. Those three players were cornerback Stephon Gilmore, linebacker Dont’a Hightower, and special teamer Matthew Slater. Numerous other Patriots […]

The New England Patriots are tied for the most Super Bowl victories in NFL history. In about two decades, the franchise went from being Super Bowl-less to a perennial juggernaut. During that time, many great players worked under Bill Belichick and transformed the image of the organization. However, New England had some great players before […]

Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore has a chance to do something that has not been done since 2009. That is winning the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award as a cornerback. Charles Woodson was the last to accomplish this feat and Gilmore is a strong candidate 10 years later. The New England Patriots have been […]

New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore has solidified his case as one of the frontrunners for Defensive Player of the Year with his spectacular play throughout the season. In a recent conversation with Albert Breer of The MMQB, Gilmore stated he has no doubts about his status as the favorite to win the award. Asked […]

Former New England Patriots tight end was Rob Gronkowski named to the “NFL 100 All-Time Team” for his position. Who better to tell an ll-time story about Gronkowski than head coach Bill Belichick. Before emerging as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, Gronkowski was an overlooked prospect coming out of Arizona. Belichick […]

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are entering their biggest game of the season in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills. While the Patriots control their own destiny when it comes to the AFC East division race, the Bills are right behind them and can even up their records with a win on the […]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been able to maintain his status as one of the NFL’s best at his position for at least the last decade. However, at 42 years old, the 20-year NFL veteran has failed to accomplish one thing for the first time since 2008 — a year that Brady sat […]

Tom Brady is arguably the greatest quarterback of all-time but it’s fair to ask if his time with the New England Patriots is coming to a close after 2019. Therefore, it’s interesting to wonder what could’ve been had the Patriots chose Lamar Jackson over Sony Michel in the 2018 NFL Draft. New England selected Michel […]

The New England Patriots have a pivotal matchup with the Buffalo Bills in Week 16. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen whether or not wide receiver Julian Edelman will be good to go.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens are both trying to overthrow the defending champions in the AFC, but that doesn’t mean the Ravens are in an underdog position.

The 2019 NFL season is coming to a close. The postseason race is heating up as teams jockey for playoff positioning. In this NFL week review, we examine two players who are leading their squads to AFC hierarchy.  We also look at an AFC club that has fallen flat on its face following lofty preseason […]

The New England Patriots should have interest in Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts. After an outstanding season, Hurts might have played himself into the top three rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft. The already deep quarterback class is now deeper with Hurts in the conversation. Before 2019, Hurts wasn’t on the radar of draft pundits. He received […]
