The New England Patriots far exceeded anyone’s wildest expectations this season by winning 14 games and securing their first AFC East division title since 2019. For a good chunk of the 2025 NFL season, the Patriots were actually ranked No. 1 in a lot of power rankings. They also won 10 games in a row at one point, and starting quarterback Drake Maye might win league MVP in just his second pro season. But the real season — aka the playoffs — is about to begin. The playoffs commence this weekend, with the Patriots hosting the Los Angeles Chargers at…

The Bruins placed defenseman Hampus Lindholm on injured reserve and activated defenseman Henri Jokiharju off the IR ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Kraken in Seattle (10 p.m.). The moves were expected after it was learned on Monday that Lindholm was going to miss some time, though the injury is thus far undisclosed. It is not clear when he suffered the injury. He played 22:47, including a couple of shifts in overtime, in the B’s 3-2 OT win in Vancouver on Saturday. “It’s not going to be a day-to-day thing,” coach Marco Sturm told reporters in Seattle on Monday. “Hopefully…
The Celtics will be down one reserve wing option when they host the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night. Boston ruled out Josh Minott (left ankle sprain) for the matchup at TD Garden. Minott started nine consecutive games early this season and was a staple in head coach Joe Mazzulla’s rotation from mid-November through mid-December, often playing as an undersized center in the Celtics’ smaller, more athletic secondary lineups. He’s on pace for career highs in points (6.3) and rebounds per game (4.0) and is shooting 43.8% from 3-point range. But the recent reemergence of backup center Luka Garza, who’s posted…
The Baltimore Ravens are moving on from head coach John Harbaugh, according to a new report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Harbaugh was the NFL’s second-longest tenured head coach behind Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens were 8-9 this season and missed the playoffs. In 18 seasons at the helm in Baltimore, Harbaugh went 180-113 with a 13-11 postseason record and a Super Bowl championship (XLVII). His eight playoff road victories are the most by a head coach in NFL history. Harbaugh is about to become a hot commodity on the coaching market, according to Schefter. “John Harbaugh now…
Who is he and where did he come from?He’s Matt Clyde Joe Teran Fraizer, and he comes to us from Clovis, California via the University of Arizona and the Pittsburgh Pirates minor league system. The Red Sox signed him as a minor league free agent last week after he was released by the Pirates. He’s been given a non-roster invitation to big league spring training.There are some surface-level aspects of Fraizer’s biography that could reasonably lead one to think he’s a decent prospect: He was a third-round pick out of a traditional baseball powerhouse; he was the Pirates 2021 Minor…
At halftime, Monday’s Celtics-Bulls game didn’t seem like a remarkable one for Anfernee Simons. Boston’s third guard had logged nine first-half minutes and, like most of his teammates, shot the ball poorly, missing all three 3-pointers he attempted. He’d held up well defensively — the Celtics were bludgeoning Chicago, 54-33, despite their offensive issues — but had zero points and zero assists. Simons sat for the first six minutes of the second half, watching as Payton Pritchard padded Boston’s lead with a pair of threes and an and-one jumper. Then, he checked in — and took over. Simons played the…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Drake Maye was the most accurate starting quarterback in the NFL this season.He has also been adept at deflecting any praise that has come his way during the Patriots’ run to their first AFC East title since 2019.But after playing an integral role in steering New England to one of the best one-season turnarounds in league history following its 38-10 win over Miami, the second-year quarterback may soon be tagged with something that’ll be difficult to shrug off: being selected NFL MVP.“He’s been everything that we’ve asked and he continues to get better. He’s not satisfied,” Patriots…
Outside of earning a first-round bye, the New England Patriots may have gotten the next best thing to start the playoffs, a wild-card round matchup vs. the injury-ravaged Los Angeles Chargers. New England will play in its first postseason contest in four years on Sunday and bring playoff football back to Gillette Stadium after a six-year hiatus when it hosts Los Angeles. Of course, anything is possible, but Patriots fans should feel good about their team’s chances. Coaching legend Bill Belichick discussed New England’s upcoming battle with the Chargers on Tuesday and explained how Justin Herbert and company could be…

DANVERS — Beverly began its calendar year with an 80-36 victory over Northeastern Conference rival Danvers. Beverly (5-1) entered its matchup with Danvers (4-3) Monday night looking to bounce back from a loss to Central Catholic in the championship game of the Commonwealth Motors Classic. “We had a really tough tournament; we put together some good practices,” Beverly head coach Matt Karakoudas said. “The kids had a really good attitude coming off of that loss.” Senior guard Jacob Klass entered the game needing 31 points to eclipse 1,000 career points. The Falcons defense well aware of Klass’s potential milestone were determined…
