Last season, multiple rookies on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster orchestrated formidable seasons, including tight end Pat Freiermuth. After a couple of years of uncertainty at the position, Freiermuth took hold of the starting tight end job for the Steelers and did not look back; he ranked third on the team in both receptions (60) and […]

After Sunday’s matchup against the Miami Dolphins, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots placed Ty Montgomery on injured reserve with a right knee injury. Ty Montgomery had three catches for 15 yards against the Dolphins and served as the primary pass-catching back. With Montgomery heading to the IR and missing a handful of games, […]

It’s difficult to believe New England Patriots legend and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is already 45 years old. Professional athletes rarely continue to play at the highest level at the age of 40, much less be one of the best in their respective sports in their mid-40s, but Brady is no mere […]

The New England Patriots suffered an ugly Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins 20-7. Despite a decent defensive effort, the Patriots offense was, well, offensive. They finished the game with just 271 total yards. Mac Jones struggled to find rhythm passing. The wide receivers could not create any space whatsoever. The running game was […]

The New England Patriots did not get off to the best of starts, coming up short in their season opener against the Miami Dolphins, 20-7, amid a myriad of offensive struggles. Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, an integral part of their offense last season was nowhere to be found except for two snaps, and the […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne barely made himself felt in Week 1’s showdown against the Miami Dolphins Sunday.

The Patriots lost by multiple scores in their season-opening loss to the Dolphins, falling 20-7 on Sunday. Yet, Patriots coach Bill Belichick is only harping on a couple plays from the loss. “Well, it’s obviously a disappointing start here,” Belichick said. “It was really a pretty even game. Two big plays, 14 points, really skewed […]

Kendrick Bourne’s disappearance from the New England Patriots’ offense crossed into Sunday’s season-opening loss against the Miami Dolphins. New England’s second-leading receiver from a year ago didn’t play until the Patriots’ final drive on Sunday, recording his first snap of the game with less than six minutes remaining. To add more intrigue to the matter, […]

The Miami Dolphins opened the 2022 season with a big win over the New England Patriots.

Tagovailoa improved his record against Belichick to 4-0, […]

The New England Patriots and Bill Belichick have had a lot of secrecy surrounding their offensive play caller for Mac Jones all offseason long. After months of speculation, it appears as if we finally have our answer. Heading into their Week 1 contest against the Miami Dolphins, Belichick will be handing off the offensive play […]

Bill Belichick isn’t at all concerned with widespread skepticism of his decision to split offensive play-calling duties this season between a pair of assistants who have never played that role. If Mac Jones and the New England Patriots offense underperforms in 2022, though, the legendary head coach is still ready to take all the blame. […]

The New England Patriots are one of the most confusing teams entering the 2022 season. Led by legendary head coach Bill Belichick, the Patriots snuck into the playoffs last season, and should be primed to improve this season. Yet they had an uneven training camp, and may have fallen behind the rest of the pack […]

Mac Jones was unofficially seen as a leader of the Patriots ever since he became the team’s starting quarterback at the start of the 2021 season.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick admitted last week that he really won’t know the true identity of his team until “five or six weeks” into the regular season.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is heading into his first-ever season as head coach. And he is starting off with a challenge against one of the game’s all-time best in New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

Via Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk: “We have a lot of people on both sides of the ball, offensively and defensively, everybody contributes,” […]

The Miami Dolphins have always been the New England Patriots’ Achilles heel. For some reason, Bill Belichick’s squad has always struggled to put away their division rivals when they meet in the regular season. Even during their dominant years with Tom Brady, the Pats still lost to Miami in cruel fashion. I don’t know what’s […]

Another New England Patriots early-round draft pick has been shown the door in Foxborough. Per Dov Kleiman, tight end Devin Asiasi was released by New England as it cuts its roster down to 53 players on Tuesday. #Patriots cut former 3rd round pick TE Devin Asiasi.

As New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick enters his age-70 season in the NFL, the common question around the league is until when he wants to keep going.

Bill Belichick flashed a smile on Monday. For those who are not aware, the New England Patriots legendary head coach rarely flashes the pearly whites.

The New England Patriots’ performance in the 2022 preseason was underwhelming, to say the least. However, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick isn’t giving a final assessment of their performance. In his weekly interview on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show,” Belichick was asked how he would grade his team’s performance after the starters on both sides of […]

Bill Belichick was understandably upset with his team’s performance in Friday’s preseason finale. Not only did the Patriots lose to the Raiders, 23-6, but they also played most of their starters for a quarter-plus and failed to do much against Las Vegas’ backups. When starting quarterback Mac Jones left the field for the final time […]

Josh McDaniels is all too familiar with Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. After all, McDaniels has had two separate stints with the team, adding up to a total of 16 years with the Patriots. The Las Vegas Raiders named McDaniels as their new head coach ahead of the season, and with his team […]

FOXBOROUGH — New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick made it clear that the team is going through a process in determining who calls the offensive plays after Matt Patricia and Joe Judge split those duties in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Giants.

The New England Patriots fell to the New York Giants in their preseason opener on Thursday. However, it wasn’t the loss that irked Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
