The New England Patriots exceeded all expectations en route to Super Bowl 60, but their remarkable 2025 season ended with a disappointing 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks While there’s newfound optimism in Foxboro with head coach Mike Vrabel and quarterback Drake Maye leading the charge, the Patriots will have a more challenging road to the Super Bowl in 2026. Their schedule will be much tougher, and they’ll undoubtedly have a target on their back as the reigning AFC champion. The work begins next month, when Vrabel and Co. must figure out how to retool a roster that can replicate…

By EDDIE PELLS, Associated Press National Writer LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) — Chloe Kim’s first truly meaningful ride through a halfpipe in almost 11 months will come at no place other than the Olympics. United State’s Chloe Kim practices as a photographer watches during a snowboard halfpipe training session at the 2026 Winter Olympics, in Livigno, Italy, Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026. (AP Photo/Lindsey Wasson) That feels daunting, even for one of the best snowboarders in the world, whose leadup to the Games took a detour when she injured her shoulder during a training run in Switzerland the second week of January.…
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Boston Herald crew made it to Levi’s Stadium for Super Bowl LX, but, boy, was it an adventure. We walked to the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco and left on the media bus at 10:30 a.m. PT and were seated in the press box at 12:51 p.m. The bus hit some traffic, then some national media members suggested some detours to the bus driver that eventually led us to a dead end when Andrew Callahan and I politely asked our driver to open the doors and let us walk the last 3/4 mile. We…
Drake Maye might wish he could hit the reset button after his first Super Bowl experience ended in a 29-13 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Maye faced a tough challenge passing for 295 yards and two touchdowns. However, he also lost a fumble and threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Even though Maye finished second in MVP voting this season, his playoff performance wasn’t impressive. As a result, the sports talk show host Skip Bayless is reverting to Maye’s original nickname, calling him “Drake Maybe”. “I’ll go back to my original nickname for…
Last week, Red Sox fans Damon Campagna, Lily Rose Smith and Patrick Spaulding filed a class-action lawsuit against the team in U.S. District Court, alleging that it charged illegal junk fees from at least 2022 through 2024 and used “drip pricing” to inflate the stated costs for tickets. I believe them.To be clear, I believed them as soon as I saw the first headline about all this. As I am not a court of law, I am under no obligation to find the team innocent until proven guilty. I relish doing the opposite, in fact. I nonetheless read the criminal…
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Studying the Seahawks’ defense the last two weeks, the Patriots knew to expect blitz pressure in obvious passing situations, especially third-and-long. But blitzing as early and often as Seattle did Sunday? This was new. Multiple Patriots players admitted they were caught off-guard by the Seahawks’ initial game plan in Super Bowl LX, which helped set the table for a 29-13 Seattle win. The Pats went scoreless and had 78 total yards through three quarters. Drake Maye took six sacks and was under pressure on more than half of his dropbacks, per Next Gen Stats. “We saw…
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Drake Maye was a dependable and steadying force for the New England Patriots this season. The second-year quarterback never got the chance to be that when his team needed him most in the Super Bowl.Maye was the NFL’s most accurate passer during the regular season and finished second in MVP voting, but he was hounded by the Seahawks’ “Dark Side” defense throughout. He threw two touchdown passes, but was sacked seven times, had two interceptions and lost a fumble that led to a TD by Seattle in New England’s 29-13 loss on Sunday.Maye finished 27 of 43…

The New England Patriots’ magical season ultimately came to an atrocious end with their 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. It’s somewhat surprising the way things unfolded, as the team who was supposed to have nothing to lose looked tight — whiffing on sacks, missing tackles in the open field, failing to get any sort of push at the line of scrimmage, and allowing simple stunts to confuse them and put the quarterback in harm’s way. If they didn’t play that way, it probably still would have been much of the same… Drake Maye faced immense…
SANTA CLARA, Calif. —- When new head coach Mike Vrabel arrived in January, his messaging was clear and optimistic. He wanted the Patriots “to win the AFC East, to host home playoff games, and to compete for championships.” In that regard, they miraculously accomplished those goals in one year, but on Sunday, after furthering their bond as a team in the unseasonably warm temperatures of the Bay Area, competing for championships was no longer enough. The Patriots’ goals had evolved. They needed to win, and they failed in their pursuit of a Lombardi Trophy, falling to the Seahawks 29-13. The…
