Kayshon Boutte’s lack of usage against the Buffalo Bills was among many head-scratchers for the New England Patriots in their crushing 35-31 defeat. Boutte, the Patriots’ best wideout this season other than Stefon Diggs, was targeted just once in Week 15. The lone target came early in the opening quarter, and the 2023 sixth-round draft pick made a beautiful diving grab for a 30-yard gain. That kind of play has been a common occurrence when Drake Maye has looked Boutte’s way this year. Boutte ranks second among Pats wideouts in yards (511) and first in touchdowns (six) despite being targeted only…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots were a half away from ending Buffalo’s five-year reign atop the AFC East.But after allowing Josh Allen and the Bills to score touchdowns on five straight possessions, the postgame message Sunday following a 35-31 loss centered on the Patriots not making the same mistakes with three games still to play.“Move on to next week and learn from it,” said quarterback Drake Maye, who rushed for two touchdowns but also threw an interception in the third quarter that proved costly when Allen led the Bills to score that put Buffalo up 28-24.The Patriots remain at…
There are plenty of arms still available on MLB’s mid-tier starting pitching market, including a pair of pitchers who featured heavily in the Boston Red Sox’s 2025 rotation: Lucas Giolito and Walker Buehler. Giolito is clearly the more appealing target for starter-needy clubs, and he’s recently been linked to the San Francisco Giants. Buehler had a rough go with the Red Sox in 2025. His up-and-mostly down season with Boston (7-7, 5.45 ERA) ultimately ended led to his release from the club in August, after which he was scooped up by the Philadelphia Phillies and actually looked better with them.…
The Patriots’ latest injury report cast significant doubt on the health of their defense heading into Sunday’s game at Baltimore. Outside linebacker Harold Landry, cornerbacks Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones and inside linebacker Robert Spillane all missed a second consecutive practice Thursday. If any or all of them are absent Friday, it’s highly unlikely they will play this weekend. Inside linebacker Christian Elliss was upgraded to limited participation, as he deals with an illness. Defensive tackle Christian Barmore was also upgraded from limited to full participation. In Baltimore, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson overcame his own illness to be a full…
Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Next up, an in-house veteran who is one of the best hitters in the game… in one particular scenario. After the 2024 season Rob Refsnyder considered retiring. But he didn’t, explaining:“Really it was just the conversation, last year was my last guaranteed deal with here,” Refsnyder said. “…I didn’t really know the future. If no one has interest then yeah, I’d go on…
The 2025 football delivered, to put it simply. Many were wondering if Xaverian could win its third consecutive state title in a loaded Div. 1 field. The Hawks (11-2) stumbled out of the gate, but found their footing in Catholic Conference play. The school embarked on a nine-game winning streak. This included a buzzer-beating 25-22 victory over Catholic Memorial (Oct. 17). They captured their first league title since 2018 by defeating St. John’s Prep on Thanksgiving (a wild 21-18 victory). One week later, Xaverian completed the three-peat with a 41-35 win over the same Eagles to claim the Super Bowl…
FOXBORO — Stefon Diggs has seen his production dip over the Patriots’ last three games as his playing time has waned. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Thursday, “There’s no special reason for that.” Diggs played less than 50% of snaps in Week 12 and 13 wins over the Bengals and Giants. He played exactly 50% of snaps in Sunday’s Week 15 loss to the Bills after a Week 14 bye. “There’s a lot of guys that got fewer snaps on Sunday because we didn’t earn enough snaps in the game. And so, we look at it, Stef has done a…
It’s still early in the NBA season, but fans and media are already starting to look ahead to the NBA Trade Deadline on Feb. 5. One team that could go either way is the Boston Celtics. While they occupy the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference, that could change considerably before Feb. 5 depending on how they play over the next six weeks. If the Celtics get hot or keep playing well, they could look to buy in anticipation of a playoff run. If they get cold or suffer some injuries, however, they could easily fall out of contention…
