The Patriots played an imperfect game in a statement win over a very good Buccaneers team Sunday, and that should not necessarily be viewed as a negative. Quarterback Drake Maye made one of the biggest mistakes of his season, the Patriots couldn’t run the ball for most of the game, there were tackling issues and coverage breakdowns, and the Patriots still beat a division leader on the road. That just means Mike Vrabel’s Patriots might be able to beat anyone in the league when they play their best. There were more positives to take away from Sunday’s 28-23 win over…

The Red Sox have some big decisions to make in free agency, but building strength in the minor leagues should not be overlooked. Anything can happen throughout the course of a season, and having talent in the minor leagues to call upon is important. The Red Sox lost a minor league catcher on Thursday when Chadwick Tromp elected free agency from the organization, according to his transaction log on MLB.com. Tromp spent time in the Baltimore Orioles and Atlanta Braves organizations last season as well. Tromp has appeared in six big league seasons, but has never played more than 25…

The fastest way to expedite a rebuild is to crush it in the draft. It may technically still be too soon to put a “Crushed It” grade on the Patriots’ 2025 draft class, but this much is true: The reason the Patriots are 8-2 instead of 7-3 is because of the work of the first-year players on the field in Tampa on Sunday. Will Campbell, the fourth overall pick, remains absolutely rock solid at left tackle, and third-rounder Jared Wilson — despite some ups and downs — has been a reliable starter at left guard. Their work on the much-improved…

Ahead of what proved to be a quiet NFL trade deadline for the Patriots, it was reported that the Titans might be reluctant to deal players to New England because of team owner Amy Adams Strunk’s lingering ill will toward Mike Vrabel. Vrabel, who was fired by Tennessee two years ago, was asked Monday for his response to that rumor. “I haven’t talked to Amy since the day she fired me,” the Patriots head coach said on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show. “So her name and my name should not be in the same sentence together, because I haven’t talked…

The New England Patriots knew that they had an opportunity to make a statement in Week 10 by picking up a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And while they weren’t favored to win this game, the Pats did just that, defeating the Bucs 28-23 to earn their seventh-straight dub. There is a lot to take away from this game, as New England’s win, combined with the Buffalo Bills’ loss to the Miami Dolphins, gives them a two-game cushion in the AFC East standings. With this contest in the books, let’s look back at the action and pick out four…

Brayan Bello entered 2025 looking to take a step forward. The Red Sox were rolling out Garret Crochet and Tanner Houck as a 1-2 punch, with Bello, Lucas Giolito, and Walker Buehler set to figure out the 3, 4, and 5 spots in the starting rotation. But, of course, the rotation suffered a lot over the season — despite being pretty good! — and Bello was counted on more than anticipated. And he mostly delivered. But also showed why he’s not without his limitations.It took a little bit for Bello to get going after a brief IL stint to open…

Seven questions as the Red Sox take the plunge – or cautiously wade – into a pivotal offseason. 1. Why didn’t the Red Sox extend a Qualifying Offer to Lucas Giolito? The list of potential reasons why the Sox opted not to extend a Qualifying Offer to right-hander Lucas Giolito range from magnanimous, to practical, to concerning. Let’s go in reverse order. The most logical, and therefore worrisome, explanation is that the Red Sox did not want to offer a pitcher $22.05 million for one year after elbow soreness caused him to struggle in September and be left off their…

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…
