TAMPA, Fla. — With Kayshon Boutte sidelined with a hamstring injury and Rhamondre Stevenson nursing an injured toe, Sunday’s game represented the clearest opportunity yet for a pair of speedy Patriots rookies. Kyle Williams and TreVeyon Henderson both capitalized, ripping off three big-play touchdowns to help New England defeat the Buccaneers 28-23. Williams, pushed up the depth chart in starter Boutte’s absence, took his first target late in the first quarter 72 yards to paydirt. The seldom-used third-round draft pick gained separation from Buccaneers cornerback Benjamin Morrison on an over route, caught a pass from Drake Maye at New England’s…

“I feel the need, the need for speed.” The New England Patriots spent years relating to that need but could never quite figure out how to satisfy it — though it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Tyquan Thornton, Pierre Strong, Aaron Dobson and Chad Jackson are some of the fastest human beings to ever step on a football field, but couldn’t translate their speed into success once they set up shop at One Patriot Place. Why? I don’t think anyone can provide an adequate answer to that question, though equal blame can be placed on each individual player as…
TAMPA, Fla. – It’s not the schedule. The Patriots showed a lot in Sunday’s nail-biting, toe-tapping, heart-stopping, sweat-beading 28-23 win over the Buccaneers. But most of all, they proved that their 8-2 record and seven-game winning streak is not just a product of their ease of schedule. Patriots players said after Sunday’s win that they don’t care if they’re being slept on, but their performance did the talking for them on Sunday. And their play on the field – beating a division leader – told any doubters to shut up about their easy schedule. Who knows how long the Patriots’…
Call it a movement game. Call it a checkpoint game, as my friend Tom E. Curran did on Patriots Pregame Live. Call it a truth-serum game, the kind where you find out what a team really is, as my friend Michael Holley suggested. Whatever you wanted to call it, Sunday’s matchup between the Patriots and the Buccaneers represented an opportunity. It was an opportunity for Mike Vrabel’s club to go from being considered a good team — a team contending for a division title, a team contending for a home playoff game — to something else. By beating the Bucs as they did,…

“MVP! ‘MVP! MVP!” New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye heard that familiar chant rain down both during and after Sunday’s victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — even though the game was played at Raymond James Stadium. Maye, however, did his best to deflect attention during his postgame interview with CBS’ Tracy Wolfson. “They may be for (Baker Mayfield). Baker played his butt off. Big fan of Baker’s game, and they’re a good football team,” Maye told CBS’ Tracy Wolfson. “We travel well. That’s the Patriots. That’s us, we’re going to travel every week.” Mayfield was tremendous, finishing with better…
TAMPA, Fla. — Mike Vrabel didn’t want to end the first half of Sunday’s game with a field goal. After driving 83 yards to the Buccaneers’ goal line, he wanted six. So, with the Patriots facing fourth-and-goal from the half-yard line, Vrabel kept his offense on the field. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels sent out his two most experienced pass-catchers and put the ball in Drake Maye’s hands. The result: a highlight-reel toe-tap touchdown to Stefon Diggs. The veteran wide receiver motioned behind tight end Hunter Henry and then beat safety Antoine Winfield Jr. off the snap. Winfield tried to punch…
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor NutshellNick Sogard had his second consecutive season as a product of a depleted roster with limited platoon options, but he made the absolute most of the opportunities he was given on the Major League roster with his versatility and defensive dependability.If anyone has been reading my Minor Lines since 2022, you should already know how I feel about Nick Sogard’s presence on the field and in the lower part of the lineup. He’ll rarely be the player to make a game-changing play. But he’ll often be the guy who functions exactly as he should wherever he’s…
FOXBORO — The Patriots have a new signature win. Underdogs heading into a Week 10 matchup with the Buccaneers, the Patriots outlasted, outplayed and outshined one of the NFC’s best teams to increase their winning streak to seven games and improve their record to 8-2 with a 28-23 win. Credit two Patriots rookies with the team’s biggest plays. The Patriots’ defense also came up strong when it mattered most. First, however, the Patriots survived what could have been a grave mistake by quarterback Drake Maye. Two plays after M-V-P chants rained down from Patriots fans half-filling Raymond James Stadium, Maye…
