FOXBORO — Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel has made it a tradition this season to name at least one “game captain” each week. Vrabel surprises his weekly choice by showing a high school highlight reel of that week’s captain in a meeting and having the team try to figure out who it is. It was hard for Patriots players to figure out that it was outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings this week, since one of the clips showed him under center as a wildcat quarterback. Eventually, they figured it out. But Vrabel thought that Jennings, who will take on a bigger…

If the Denver Broncos are to pull off an upset over the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, most believe it’ll be because of their defense. NFL.com analyst Maurice Jones-Drew said on Friday, however, that Broncos backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham will not only lead Denver to victory, but he’ll torch the New England defense in the process. NFL.com’s six analysts provided bold predictions for the pair of Conference Championship games on Sunday, with Jones-Drew saying that Stidham will outplay Patriots signal-caller Drake Maye. “Stidham has not thrown a pass in a real game since Week 18 of the…
FOXBORO — Mike Vrabel motioned for Will Campbell to pick his chin up. Campbell’s frustrations were clear, after all. Not only as the Patriots left tackle walked off the field at Gillette Stadium following New England’s 28-16 victory in the AFC Divisional Round against the Houston Texans, but also in front of reporters who gathered around him in the locker room. “I hold myself to a higher standard than what I put out tonight,” Campbell said Sunday after he allowed four pressures and two sacks on quarterback Drake Maye. It was the second consecutive game in which Campbell came up short…
FOXBORO — The Patriots had nearly perfect practice attendance Friday in their final session before Sunday afternoon’s AFC Championship Game against the Broncos. Center Garrett Bradbury (illness) and linebacker Marte Mapu (hip) returned to practice. Cornerback Carlton Davis III (concussion protocol) shed his red non-contact jersey, meaning he should be good to go for Sunday’s conference title game. Wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) and running back Terrell Jennings, both of whom are on injured reserve, continued their participation in practice, as well. The only player missing was outside linebacker Harold Landry, who was absent all three days of practice this…
This has ramifications for the Red Sox on a few fronts: First, the deal for Bellinger again verifies the price for free agent outfielders remains astronomically high. Second, the Yankees retained another piece of their 2025 outfield that hit a combined 112 home runs (it’s a good thing the Sox have a bunch of high ceiling lefty pitchers if they need to go in there next fall). And lastly, the Mets are becoming a less ideal trade candidate as they continue to clear out interesting young players and also traded for Luis Robert earlier in the week.So where do the…

In its biggest win of the year, the No. 4 Hingham boys hockey team was dealt a tough break.
