Typically the first thought that many people have when they’re set to receive some more income is what to do with it.

[…]

The New England Patriots are keeping one of their defensive players who has been on the rise on the roster for the foreseeable future. Linebacker Jahlani Tavai agreed to a two-year, $4.4 million extension that will keep him with the Patriots through the end of the 2024 season, ESPN’s Field Yates first reported Tuesday. Bill Belichick […]

Mac Jones has the full support of his New England Patriots teammates even if his second season in the league hasn’t gone the way he’d like so far. Jones struggled out of the gate, throwing seven interceptions in his first three games before suffering an ankle injury that cost him the next three outings and […]

New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty has pretty much seen it all over the course of his 13-year NFL career. He got a look at something new on Monday, though. McCourty is set to play in his 200th NFL game when the Patriots take on the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night. During his press conference […]

All signs point to the New England Patriots playing Thursday’s game against the Buffalo Bills without running back Damien Harris.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick isn’t a big talker, and it remains to be the case for him when asked about a potential reunion with former Pats offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show (h/t Mark Daniels of MassLive). “I haven’t talked to Bill in a little while,” Belichick said. […]

FOXBOROUGH – A couple weeks ago, Rhamondre Stevenson made a bit of a stunning admission – at least for a player that plays in New England. The Patriots running back, who grew up on the West Coast, said that he hates playing in the cold. Stevenson not only backtracked that statement on Sunday, but he […]

FOXBOROUGH – The last time the New England Patriots’ defense shared the field with the Buffalo Bills’ offense, it didn’t go well. Check that, the last two times New England faced Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and Co. it went really bad. The Patriots have failed to force the Bills to punt in their last two […]

FOXBOROUGH – New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson’s improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 has been nothing short of outstanding, and it sounded like he got as heavy of a compliment as possible from his head coach the other. During NBC’s broadcast of Thursday’s Patriots-Minnesota Vikings game, analyst Jason Garrett said that Bill […]

Bill O’Brien could be on his way back to the NFL. Jeff Schultz of The Athletic tweeted Sunday that the former Houston Texans head coach “is considering NFL options (which many expected).” While Schultz did not mention any NFL teams with potential links for an O’Brien return to the pros, the New England Patriots do […]

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. Buffalo dominated New England in its final two meetings last season, including a 47-17 playoff rout in which the Patriots were embarrassed […]

FOXBOROUGH — The New England Patriots were without a key player in their first practice back since losing to the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. Running back Damien Harris wasn’t spotted at practice on Sunday. He departed the Thanksgiving Day game early due to a thigh injury he suffered during the second half. Harris was […]

The New England Patriots fell to 6-5 on the season with their 33-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving night. While there were some good takeaways for the Patriots in that game, they committed just enough errors in a game that it felt like they should’ve won. Here are the four things most to […]

Julian Edelman is a Patriot for life, though it was almost not the case after he nearly left the New England Patriots back in 2013. The former Patriots wideout admitted as much in his recent documentary with NFL Films titled “A Football Life.” Edelman revealed that he thought of leaving the team at the time […]

The NFL’s slate of Thanksgiving games was one of the best in recent memory this year. The Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions kicked the day off with a game that went down to the wire, then the Dallas Cowboys upended the division rival New York Giants in the late afternoon game. Even with all that […]

Several people thought Hunter Henry caught his second touchdown pass of the game in the middle of the third quarter in the New England Patriots’ 33-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. However, following a several-minute-long review, Henry’s catch on third-and-goal was wiped off the board as it was determined he didn’t have […]

The New England Patriots ended up losing 33-26 to the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving night, thanks in large part to Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson’s exploits. While there are plenty of reasons for the Patriots brass to feel despondent, as they have fallen out of the playoff picture in the meantime, Jakobi Meyers’ injury status […]

Mac Jones arguably not only had his best game of the season, but also of his career in the New England Patriots’ 33-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday. The Patriots’ second-year quarterback completed 28-of-39 passes for a career-high 382 yards with two touchdowns with no interceptions, good for a passer rating of 119.8. […]

Hunter Henry thought he had a touchdown reception in the middle of the third quarter during the New England Patriots’ 33-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday.

Thanksgiving season is upon us and yet New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will find it difficult to name things he’s grateful for in the immediate aftermath of the Patriots’ 33-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. In fact, instead of being thankful, feelings of vindictiveness may be the dominant emotion in Belichick’s mind, especially […]

What a way for the Minnesota Vikings to rebound from their sorry loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11. Kirk Cousins and the Vikings, who scored just three points in the Cowboys game, were much more lethal Thursday night versus the New England Patriots offensively on their way to a 33-26 victory against a […]

Nelson Agholor probably shouldn’t hop on Twitter, at least for the moment. Fans are not being too kind to Agholor on Thanksgiving following his missed catch near the end of regulation of Thursday night’s game between the New England Patriots and the Minnesota Vikings. Agholor appeared to be on track to making enough space to […]

The New England Patriots have lost running back Damien Harris to injury — at least on Thursday in their Thanksgiving matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on the road.

Justin Jefferson is on the doorstep of once again making notable history in his early run with the Minnesota Vikings.

He has tallied 4,109 receiving yards […]

New York Jets fans across the country were disheartened after the Week 11 loss vs. the New England Patriots, but perhaps no one took it worse than former Jets receiver Brandon Marshall.

Thanksgiving is upon us, and there will be plenty of debate once more about the merit of the holiday given its origin.

FOXBOROUGH — The New England Patriots have been a wide receiver-needy team for years, but they nearly had one of the top receivers in the game fall into their lap in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Within a span of 21 seconds, the New York Jets went from fighting for first place in the AFC East to landing with a thud in the division cellar. Their 10-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday was as brutal a gut punch as a team can take. We’ll break it down and […]

FOXBOROUGH – The New England Patriots’ offense hasn’t brought much consistency this season, at least in positive fashion.

FOXBOROUGH – In the New England Patriots first game after the bye week, several people wondered what they would do – if anything – to help fix their offensive woes.

FOXBOROUGH – After undergoing a “full audit” of himself during his team’s bye week, New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones felt like he improved in some areas but left some room to be desired in other areas in Sunday’s 10-3 win over the New York Jets.
