Stefon Diggs is getting acclimated to the New England Patriots. The veteran wideout made his Patriots debut in Sunday’s 20-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. It was an accomplishment in and of itself for Diggs to even be ready for Week 1, with an ACL tear in Week 8 cutting his 2024 season short. Diggs reeled in six passes for 57 yards, one of 10 players — including quarterback Drake Maye — to record a catch in the game. There are a lot of new pieces on the Patriots, Diggs among them, so Sunday marked his first time experiencing…

Drake Maye delivered a high-level pass through a tremendously small window to DeMario Douglas in the end zone on Sunday. It was probably the only one of his 46 pass attempts that looked like it was delivered by a high-end, franchise-caliber quarterback. It’s no coincidence that it delivered the only touchdown of the day for New England. That may be an odd way to evaluate a quarterback, and it potentially may be unfair, given some of the conditions Maye was working with on Sunday. Yet with the entire New England region desperate to see a significant improvement from a team…
FOXBORO – You weren’t wrong to believe. They were favored, after all. And by the time anyone pulled up to Gillette Stadium, bad weather – a time-tested tell for major moments in Patriots history – had already descended on Foxboro. So as rain doused Mike Vrabel’s head-coaching debut, it was no surprise to see the Patriots‘ defense generate three straight three-and-outs in the first half. Or watch Drake Maye lead multiple scoring drives. Or spot the head coach and quarterback duck into the locker room at halftime with a 10-7 lead and a strengthening grip on the game. Victory felt…
PHOENIX (AP) — Pinch-hitter Nick Sogard lined a late tiebreaking, two-run double, Aroldis Chapman extended his hitless streak to 17 appearances by striking out four in the ninth inning and Alex Cora got his 600th win as Boston manager when the Red Sox rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-4 on Sunday.Boston put two on in the ninth against Taylor Rashi (0-1) and Sogard followed with a double off Andrew Saalfrank.

Trevor Story’s time with the Boston Red Sox has been marred by injuries. He’s appeared in 139 games this season, well above his previous Red Sox high of 94 games in 2022. In 2023 and 2024, he spent most of the season on the injured list. He’s been healthy for the entirety of 2025, and by starting on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, he hit a milestone. It was his 88th straight start, tying his career high for consecutive starts. In 2018, he appeared in 157 of 162 games, starting 88 consecutive in the process. Playing every day has seemingly…
If there’s any game in which the Red Sox need everyone to be on their A-game, it’s this one. The free fall post Roman injury isn’t doing anyone any favors—and with the Yankees and Blue Jays playing a series, should have been a chance to gain ground on either opponent. Instead, it feels like we’re going to end up in the hunt for the final Wild Card spot. Can Bello help right the ship or will the Sox keep feeling the venom from the Dbacks?⚾️ First Pitch: 4:10pm EDT — Chase Field, Phoenix, AZ Source link
In four games since their forced exile from the Roman (Anthony) Empire, the Red Sox haven’t been the same. They flew to Arizona to face a sub-.500 Diamondbacks team, and spent nearly the entire weekend struggling. Until the late innings on Sunday, when the offense finally found its spark again and staved off a sweep with a 7-4 win, 600th victory of Alex Cora’s managerial career. Ryne Nelson became the fourth opposing starter in a row to hold the Boston bats to one run over six innings. Beginning in the second, the Red Sox put the leadoff man on three…

UNC head coach Bill Belichick confirmed reports that Patriots scouts are banned from Tar Heels practices Saturday after earning his first win in college football. “It’s clear I’m not welcome there at their facility. So they’re not welcome at ours,” Belichick said. “It’s pretty simple.” Belichick was at Gillette Stadium last June for Tom Brady’s retirement ceremony. He was not on hand for Brady’s statue unveiling this summer. Patriots owner Robert Kraft recently said he wants to build a statue for Belichick after the coach’s career is over. A UNC athletics source told the Herald this week, “Why would we…
