For two decades, the New England Patriots dominated the AFC East, winning a staggering 17 division titles in 19 seasons from 2001 to 2019. Since Tom Brady left the Patriots, however, the Buffalo Bills have taken over, winning five consecutive AFC East titles from 2020 to 2024. The Bills appeared well on their way to a sixth straight division crown this year after starting the season 4-0. They’ve lost their last two games, however, allowing New England to pass them in the standings. While both teams are 4-2 after Week 6, the first-place Patriots hold the tiebreaker after beating Buffalo…

The Bruins played their second game without Hampus Lindholm (lower body, day-to-day), but his replacement Jordan Harris has not let them miss him too much. After setting up Pavel Zacha for a goal in the B’s 3-1 win over Buffalo on Saturday, the Haverhill native’s first goal as a Bruin on Monday helped keep the B’s in the game, though they would eventually lose to the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-3. “He had a really good game last game and today he was solid again. I can’t really say anything bad about him. He works and does his job,” said coach…
Mike Vrabel has made it clear to his players that he won’t shy away from calling them out about things they need to correct.He also doesn’t want to miss an opportunity to praise them.“Give them all game balls on me!” Vrabel shouted as he wrapped his postgame speech in the locker room following the Patriots’ 25-19 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.It was New England’s third consecutive victory, something the Patriots (4-2) haven’t achieved since 2022. It also improved their road mark to 3-0, which Vrabel said his young team should celebrate.“I think that there’s a good balance that can…
For as big of a story as the New England Patriots have been through Week 6 at 4-2, there’s still one glaringly obvious weakness on the team. The Patriots’ ground game ranks 26th in the NFL with 91.5 rushing yards per game. Could a certain “King” be a good fit for New England’s rushing attack? The Ringer’s Bill Simmons floated a blockbuster trade idea between the Patriots and Baltimore Ravens on Monday that would send five-time Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry to New England. Simmons’ trade proposal ships Patriots starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson and a second-round pick to…
It is a big if. A series of ifs, actually. Ultimately, though, it boils down to this: There’s reason to believe Josh McDaniels would pursue a head coaching gig if an opportunity presents itself with a stable organization. “I love living in New England. That’s the short of it,” McDaniels responded last week when asked if he would be content with coaching Drake Maye for the remainder of his career. “I just try to focus on now, really enjoying coaching for Mike (Vrabel). …That would be surprising if I moved my kids out of Westwood.” Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer joined…
With each of their first three preseason opponents choosing to rest their regulars, the Celtics don’t yet have a clear picture of how their offseason additions will stack up against top competition. But the early returns from Boston’s quintet of rostered newcomers have been largely positive. Ahead of Wednesday night’s exhibition finale against the Toronto Raptors at TD Garden, here’s a look at how each new face on the 15-man roster has fared thus far: Anfernee Simons In his first time coming off the bench since Dec. 29, 2021, Simons showcased the type of explosive offensive potential he’ll bring to…
Mike Vrabel is no longer the last head coach to be fired by the Titans. But that won’t make his return Sunday to Tennessee any less intriguing. A day after the Patriots held off New Orleans 25-19 for a third straight road win, Vrabel took a peek ahead to their next trip to play the Titans. “Having spent six years there or seven years there, I think it’ll be nice to see some people that I haven’t seen in a few years that helped us win, players and staff,” Vrabel said Monday. “But we’ve got a huge job to do…
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is on a mission this season, proving he can be a franchise talent. His early success suggests he may even be a top-tier quarterback. After New England defeated the New Orleans Saints 25-19 on Sunday, Boston Sports Journal Patriots writer Greg A. Bedard believes Maye might soon make a push in the MVP race. “If he does this for the rest of the year, he’s headed for a top-five MVP season,” Bedard said on Sunday, via Patriots on CLNS. Maye significantly impacted the NFL landscape when the Patriots traveled to Buffalo last week and…
We never quite figured out why third-string catcher Ali Sanchez was ever in Boston to begin with, and now we may never know. As a minor leaguer who is not currently on the 40-man roster, Sanchez exercised his right to become a free agent, as did pitcher Nick Burdi. Sanchez made four appearances for the Sox this year, with each one coming as a 9th inning defensive replacement. He made just two plate appearances, failing to get on base and striking out once. Word on the street is that Sanchez is now planning on getting his MD, moving to a…
