A lot has gone right for the New England Patriots in the 2025 campaign. The play of Drake Maye under center is certainly high up on that list, but over the past few weeks, it’s been hard to ignore the play of rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson. With Rhamondre Stevenson missing time due to a toe injury, that forced Henderson to take on more responsibility in the month of November. In the team’s four games during the month, Henderson racked up 330 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, while also catching 13 passes for 81 yards and another score.…

By JAMES ROBSON, AP Soccer Writer Soccer fans were able to apply for tickets to watch specific matches at next year’s World Cup for the first time on Thursday as FIFA opened up its latest phase of sales. Following last week’s draw for the 2026 tournament, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, an updated schedule has been published. That means fans know when and where the likes of Lionel Messi and Argentina will play. Previous ticket ballots were blind as the qualification period had not even been completed and the draw was yet to take…
The New England Patriots are tied with the Denver Broncos for the NFL’s best record at 11-2, and they could clinch the AFC East title for the first time since 2019 with a win over the rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. Despite having a better record than the Bills, playing at home, and already having beaten Buffalo once this season, oddsmakers have made the Patriots underdogs entering this much-anticipated game. The Bills are favored by 1.5 points at some sportsbooks. While some people might view the Patriots being underdogs as a sign of disrespect, veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs…
FOXBORO — Do you remember Tom Brady’s last win as a Patriot? It was late Dec. 2019, a fourth-quarter comeback. Because, of course it was. It was also a Saturday night — yes, a Saturday — when the Pats clinched an 11th straight division title by holding off the playoff-bound Bills. The Patriots were slipping, and they knew it. Buffalo had ascended with Josh Allen. They knew that, too. Days before kickoff, a few veterans told me they could feel Buffalo nipping at their heels as a division power, maybe even a Super Bowl contender. They were right. The Bills…
Since being drafted by the Boston Celtics with the third pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Jaylen Brown has been carving out his legacy. The explosive forward won a championship with the Celtics in 2024. He’s a four-time All-Star and one-time All-NBA Second-Team selection. Judging by his production to begin the 2025-26 campaign, Brown will likely add another All-Star and All-NBA selection to his resume in the coming months. The explosive forward is thriving in a larger role, as he’s accepted all the responsibilities and pressure that comes with being the primary offensive weapon in Jayson Tatum’s absence due to…
FOXBORO — It’s important to admit when you’re wrong. Prior to Week 5, we wrote in the Boston Herald that it would be unfair to compare Drake Maye in Year 2 to Josh Allen in Year 8. Whoops. Maye has made the comparison closer than most people possibly could have imagined this season while playing at an MVP-caliber level. We spent the lead-up to the Patriots’ Week 5 win over the Bills comparing Maye and Allen at similar points of their career, because that did seem fair. Allen really took until Year 3 to become the Bills quarterback we know…
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. Today we look at a veteran pitcher who had something of a bounce-back year in 2025.Who is he and where does he come from?He’s Patrick Corbin. He just came from a year in the Rangers’ rotation after playing six seasons on the Nationals. The lefty and former Syracuse Orangemen was a 2009 2nd round draft pick. With the Red Sox acquiring Sonny Gray…
Patriots outside linebacker Harold Landry returned to practice Wednesday and was limited by a knee injury. Defensive tackle Christian Barmore (not injury related) and left tackle Vederian Lowe (abdomen) were the only other limited players in New England. Backup running back Terrell Jennings (concussion) was absent. Safety Brenden Schooler (ankle), defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga (chest) and left guard Jared Wilson (ankle) were all full participants after sitting out last week’s win over the Giants. If he’s available Sunday versus Buffalo, Tonga is likely to start in place of Milton Williams, who remains on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain.…
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan fired football coach Sherrone Moore on Wednesday after finding evidence of an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member,” a stunning end to his short, up-and-down tenure that saw the Wolverines take a step back on the field after winning the national championship.“This conduct constitutes a clear violation of university policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior,” athletic director Warde Manuel said.The announcement did not include details of the alleged relationship. Moore, who was 8-5 in his debut season and 9-3 this year, did not return a message seeking comment left by The Associated Press.The 39-year-old Moore…
Coming into the season, expectations for the Boston Celtics were pretty muted. Not only had they lost a ton of talent over the summer, but they were also going to be without their best player, Jayson Tatum, for most of the season. Accordingly, many experts viewed the Celtics as a .500 team that might make the playoffs if things broke right. Nobody expected them to be a top contender in the Eastern Conference. And yet, that’s what they are. Through its first 24 games, Boston has shockingly emerged as one of the best teams in the NBA. The surging Celtics…
