The New England Patriots are one win away from playing in the Super Bowl, and their draft class has played a major role in their success. Second-round pick TreVeyon Henderson and sixth-round pick Andy Borregales were named to the Professional Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team after their stellar rookie campaigns. The team was announced on Tuesday. Henderson and Ashton Jeanty were the two running backs named to the team, while Borregales was the lone kicker. Henderson was a standout in college and fell to the Patriots in the draft. Henderson played in 17 regular-season games, but made just four…

For the third time in the last 13 years, the Denver Broncos will host the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. But unlike the previous two AFC title game matchups, neither team was expected to be here. The Broncos made the playoffs last season but weren’t expected to be a top contender for the conference crown. The Patriots were expected to be better after back-to-back 4-13 seasons, but no one could have predicted a 14-3 campaign and a potential trip to the Super Bowl. Let’s dive into some of the most interesting storylines surrounding the Patriots-Broncos showdown, which…
Not all heroes wear capes. Tuesday night at TD Garden, it was a Crimson No. 1 and No. 14 instead. Largely fueled by another exceptional showing in net from Duxbury native Ainsley Tuffy (46 saves), Harvard returned to Women’s Beanpot supremacy by beating Boston University in overtime, 2-1, in the tournament final. Freshman Carla McSweeney scored the game-winning goal 1:17 into the extra period, lifting the Crimson (11-10-1) to their first Beanpot title since 2022 and their 16th overall. Northeastern, which was denied a fourth straight title by the Terriers (7-13-3) in a stunning semifinal loss last week, is tied…
Earlier this offseason, we were all a little surprised to hear that the Red Sox were rumored to be interested in catcher J.T. Realmuto. He’s since resigned with the Phillies, but the Sox are reportedly still interested in upgrading at catcher. While the catching position doesn’t feel like a priority given Carlos Narvaez’s successful rookie campaign, the team may simply see upgrading from Connor Wong as low-hanging fruit. Admittedly, though, there isn’t much catching talent out there right now. (Sean McAdam, MassLive)But the catching spot should take a backseat to upgrading the infield. As of today, it looks like Marcelo…

Former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has emerged as a prominent figure in this offseason’s NFL coaching search, generating considerable interest not only in head coaching positions but also in offensive coordinator roles. McDaniel was scheduled to interview for the Cleveland Browns head coaching position on Wednesday. Still, he chose to withdraw from consideration for the job, as reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The 42-year-old coach is still in the running for the head coach positions with the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens, while also being considered for a handful of offensive coordinator roles. Many head coaching…
Two new greats will take their place alongside baseball’s immortals in Cooperstown this summer, and if this year’s vote was any indication, several others once thought to be long shots might have a realistic chance in the years to come. Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones have each been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, the museum announced on Tuesday night. The two were the only candidates to receive the necessary 75% of the vote, and they will be inducted on July 26 alongside Jeff Kent, who was elected earlier this month by the Contemporary Era committee.

The Bruins will try to extend their win streak to seven games on Tuesday in Dallas when they take on the Stars as the players’ siblings trip continues on for the last stop. The Stars are widely recognized as one of the top teams in the league, but they’ve been skidding lately, losers of their last three games and just 2-6-2 in their last 10 games. In net, it will be a matchup of Team USA goalies in Jeremy Swayman and Jake Oettinger. The Winnipeg Jets’ Connor Hellebuyck is considered by some as the incumbent coming off last February’s 4…
By STEPHEN WHYNO, AP Hockey Writer One more goal. That’s how close the U.S. was to beating Canada in the final at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics before losing in overtime. One more goal.
