FOXBORO – Mike Vrabel walked into his press conference with a little grin that said everything. Then, he spoke the words anyway. “It’s a funny league.” Bingo. The Patriots‘ 24-23 escape from the Falcons may have pushed their win streak to six and vaulted them into a tie for the best record in the NFL, but little about the second half of Sunday’s win felt like a team capable of such dominance. It’s not that the Pats failed by not smashing Atlanta, like the Browns, Titans and Saints before them. Or that we should expect them to reduce all their…

Every week, it seems a different receiver goes off for the New England Patriots. In Week 9, it was DeMario Douglas. The third-year wideout had four catches for 100 yards and a touchdown in a thrilling 24-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Douglas’ 17-yard touchdown came in the first quarter, and he was one of five Patriots with multiple receptions in the win. Add him to the list of Patriots taking steps forward this season, fellow wideout Kayshon Boutte among the others. Those two, along with Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, have helped turn the unit into a…

Red Sox outfielders Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela were as good as gold in 2025. This is Abreu’s second consecutive Gold Glove win, and the first of Rafaela’s career. It is also the first Red Sox season with multiple Gold Glover since 2018, when Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Ian Kinsler brought home a trio. Rookie catcher Carlos Narváez was a finalist this year as well, but the defensive accolade went instead to Detroit’s Dillon Dingler when the winners were announced on ESPN Sunday night. Abreu, 26, is the first Red Sox player to win consecutive Gold Gloves since…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — With his team watching as its lead whittled away late in the fourth quarter, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel knew he had to say something.“I told our offense that we were going to need one drive to win the football game,” Vrabel said. “And that’s all that’s going to matter.”He just wasn’t sure if it would be a five-minute drive or a two-minute drive.“It wound up being a five-minute drive,” Vrabel said. “They executed.”Drake Maye threw two touchdown passes and had a pair of turnovers in an uneven performance, and New England held on for its sixth…
It wasn’t their prettiest performance of the season, but the New England Patriots improved to 7-2 with a 24-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Following back-to-back blowout victories, the Patriots faced a steeper test in Week 9. They committed two turnovers and nearly watched a 14-point lead evaporate, but former New England kicker Parker Romo missed a potential game-tying extra point in the fourth quarter. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the rocky performance in his post-game press conference. “It’s a funny league,” Vrabel said. “We’re gonna learn from winning so that we don’t have to learn from…
While some outside the confines of One Patriot Place can’t help themselves, Mike Vrabel and company aren’t prisoners of the moment. “Again, I’ll remind you, we’re eight games into what we feel like is a program that we want to build,” Vrabel said this week while preparing to host the Atlanta Falcons at Gillette Stadium. Vrabel’s public sentiments align with how Albert Breer expects the Patriots to approach the NFL trade deadline Tuesday. “I think they’re going to be intentional,” Breer said on Patriots Pregame Live ahead of Sunday’s contest. “What I mean by that is, they are going to…

By Karen Brown, New England Public Media, KFF Health News It isn’t easy to promote moderation and financial discipline from the bowels of a casino. But that’s what Massachusetts state workers try to do every day, amid the clanging bells and flashing lights of the slot machines. At the MGM Springfield in western Massachusetts, workers wearing green polos stand outside their small office, right off the casino floor. Above them, a sign reads “GameSense,” the state’s signature program to curb problem gambling. A mounted screen cycles through messages such as “Keep sports betting fun. Set a budget and stick to…
The New England Patriots are shaping up as a team to watch before the NFL trade deadline. ESPN’s Dan Graziano identified the Patriots as an organization “most likely” to trade for players by Tuesday. The insider wrote that they’re “flush with picks and cap space and would love to cash in on this hot start in Mike Vrabel’s first year as their coach.” New England accumulated extra draft capital by trading linebacker Keion White to the San Francisco 49ers and safety Kyle Dugger to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Graziano expects the Patriots to now turn their attention toward adding pieces that…
