SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Studying the Seahawks’ defense the last two weeks, the Patriots knew to expect blitz pressure in obvious passing situations, especially third-and-long. But blitzing as early and often as Seattle did Sunday? This was new. Multiple Patriots players admitted they were caught off-guard by the Seahawks’ initial game plan in Super Bowl LX, which helped set the table for a 29-13 Seattle win. The Pats went scoreless and had 78 total yards through three quarters. Drake Maye took six sacks and was under pressure on more than half of his dropbacks, per Next Gen Stats. “We saw…

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Drake Maye was a dependable and steadying force for the New England Patriots this season. The second-year quarterback never got the chance to be that when his team needed him most in the Super Bowl.Maye was the NFL’s most accurate passer during the regular season and finished second in MVP voting, but he was hounded by the Seahawks’ “Dark Side” defense throughout. He threw two touchdown passes, but was sacked seven times, had two interceptions and lost a fumble that led to a TD by Seattle in New England’s 29-13 loss on Sunday.Maye finished 27 of 43…

The New England Patriots’ magical season ultimately came to an atrocious end with their 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. It’s somewhat surprising the way things unfolded, as the team who was supposed to have nothing to lose looked tight — whiffing on sacks, missing tackles in the open field, failing to get any sort of push at the line of scrimmage, and allowing simple stunts to confuse them and put the quarterback in harm’s way. If they didn’t play that way, it probably still would have been much of the same… Drake Maye faced immense…
SANTA CLARA, Calif. —- When new head coach Mike Vrabel arrived in January, his messaging was clear and optimistic. He wanted the Patriots “to win the AFC East, to host home playoff games, and to compete for championships.” In that regard, they miraculously accomplished those goals in one year, but on Sunday, after furthering their bond as a team in the unseasonably warm temperatures of the Bay Area, competing for championships was no longer enough. The Patriots’ goals had evolved. They needed to win, and they failed in their pursuit of a Lombardi Trophy, falling to the Seahawks 29-13. The…
Let’s start by stipulating that this signing, player, and scenario are not necessarily what we would’ve chosen for ourselves.But this is where we are now.Certainly this isn’t the bat we wanted, but let’s lay that aside for the moment. Let’s think about defense, which is something the Red Sox themselves have pledged to devote more thought and effort to.Before signing IKF, signs were pointing toward Marcelo Mayer staffing third base, with different reports predicting Nick Sogard, or a Romy Gonzalez/David Hamilton platoon at second.My gut was telling me that IKF was the better option, defensively. Romy could bedazzle us from…
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Patriots linebacker Robert Spillane and outside linebacker Harold Landry III are both active for Super Bowl LX. Spillane (ankle) and Landry (knee) were both questionable to play Sunday against the Seahawks. Here’s the Patriots’ full list of inactives: QB Tommy DeVito (3rd QB)OT Marcus BryantOG Caedan WallaceLB Bradyn SwinsonCB Kobee MinorWR Efton Chism III There are not major surprises in the group. The only question was whether Chism or Kyle Williams would be active at wide receiver. Williams, a rookie third-round pick, adds speed and explosiveness to the Patriots’ offense. It will be interesting to see…
LOWELL – Thump. The statement made by the No. 9 Canton boys hockey team was loud Sunday afternoon at Tsongas Center, beating No. 6 Tewksbury 5-0 in the Ed Burns Coffee Tournament’s Doherty championship, a matchup many viewed as a potential Div. 2 state final preview between the MIAA power rankings’ top ranked teams. Never had a Div. 2 team taken the Doherty championship before in the Coffee Pot Tournament’s five years, spiking anticipation for a tilt between the two who ousted Div. 1 powers Arlington, Hingham and Reading. And after shutting out the Harbormen in the semifinals, the Bulldogs…
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins always throws together good pregame outfits, but saved his best for last… Hollins, who seems to really enjoy his club’s new “Warriors!” mantra, found an awesome way to one up his cosplay from the AFC Championship by wearing a Walsh Jesuit Warriors jersey ahead of Super Bowl LX. If you can’t connect those dots, take a look for yourself. Hollins choice not only represented his team’s rallying cry, but also paid tribute to head coach Mike Vrabel — who wore No. 84 for Walsh Jesuit back in 1993. Story continues below advertisement The…
