Buffalo Bills reporter Sal Capaccio believes it is because Belichick hasn’t adapted to the modern NFL, reports […]

Ever since Asante Samuel came at Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, Matthew Judon has been on the front line defending his team.

The New England Patriots entered the offseason knowing they had some work to do, particularly on the offensive side of the ball.

Malcolm Butler’s benching in Super Bowl LII remains such a mystery that even his New England Patriots teammates don’t know why he didn’t play in that game.
