The New England Patriots are perhaps the hottest team in the NFL heading into Week 10 of the 2025 NFL campaign. However, they will face one of their biggest tests of the season when they head down south to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

With the Pats rattling off six-straight wins, they have announced themselves as a true playoff contender from seemingly out of nowhere. Those who want to poke holes in the team’s success, though, have been quick to note that they have benefited from a historically easy schedule.

For one week at least, New England has a...

The New England Patriots experienced a boring yet smart NFL Trade Deadline. Well, the latter may not apply if you ask certain fans.

With a 7-2 record after a narrow win over the Atlanta Falcons, the Patriots remain in first place in the AFC East. So why not make a big splash for a big-time player like Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown?

Because the Eagles had no interest in moving him, that’s why.

As NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo transcribed from Eagles general manager Howie Roseman’s media availability post-trade deadline, Brown’s team understands his value.

“I think that when you’re...

The New England Patriots are on a roll, but they will face a big challenge in Week 10 when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As has been the case for much of the season, the team will be relying on star quarterback Drake Maye to lead them to victory.

In his first full year as the team’s starter under center, Maye has taken a massive step forward. Through nine games, Maye has thrown for 2,285 yards and 17 touchdowns, while also rushing for 270 yards and two more scores on the ground.

The Bucs are going to have...

For the most part, the New England Patriots have done well this season when it comes to avoiding major injuries. However, that could change in Week 10, as running back Rhamondre Stevenson and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte highlight a group of banged-up players heading into the team’s upcoming game.

Stevenson picked up a toe injury in New England’s Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns that forced him to miss the team’s Week 9 action against the Atlanta Falcons. Boutte, on the other hand, suffered a hamstring injury that forced him out of the clash against the Falcons early.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel opened up on the team failing to make a trade at the NFL trade deadline.

The Patriots are atop the AFC East and were rumored to be interested in pass-rush help as well as some offensive help. However, New England ended up not making any trades to bolster its roster.

Following the deadline passing, Vrabel spoke to the media and dropped a wild quote on whether or not the Patriots were close to a trade.

“First, I would say deals are like being pregnant,” Vrabel said on Wednesday, via MassLive’s Mark Daniels. “You...

The Patriots receiving core has been on fire lately, making Demario “Pop” Douglas and Stefon Diggs our VA Heroes Of The Week!

Douglas went on a heater Sunday, recording a career-high 100 receiving yards, including a 58-yarder that assisted on a touchdown drive. Pop scored the first touchdown of the game off a pass from Drake Maye.

Diggs also had a good day, scoring an 11-yard touchdown to continue his two-game scoring streak.

The New England Patriots are on fire right now. The team has ridden a six-game win streak to a 7-2 record, which is tied with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos for the top mark in the league. As a result, they are leading the pack in the AFC East, which has them holding the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoff picture currently.

Much has been made of the Patriots’ return to prominence, and one of the biggest topics of discussion has been the team’s easy slate of opponents. To this point, New England has played the easiest schedule...

The Patriots remained quiet during the NFL trade deadline, making no significant moves. Former New England linebacker Rob Ninkovich feels that he put in more effort to acquire players than his old team did.

“I think I did more work at the deadline than the Patriots did,” Ninkovich said on Wednesday during the “Greg Hill Show”.

Ninkovich revealed that he reached out to two NFL pass rushers in hopes of bringing them to the Patriots. Last week, he mentioned that he messaged Cleveland Browns standout Myles Garrett after Garrett showcased his skills by totaling five sacks against New England in...

With the NFL trade deadline in the rearview mirror, the New England Patriots are officially turning their attention to their Week 10 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With a 6-2 record, the Bucs figure to provide the Pats the sort of challenge they haven’t faced since they took down the Buffalo Bills in Week 5.

This is going to be a difficult game for New England. Tampa Bay will be playing in front of its home crowd at Raymond James Stadium, and the team is fresh off its bye week in Week 9, meaning they are well-rested for this...

The New England Patriots pulled out their sixth-straight win in Week 9 when they handed the Atlanta Falcons a 24-23 loss. Several players stood out for the Pats in this win, but one of the more unexpected contributors was running back Terrell Jennings.

With Rhamondre Stevenson missing this game due to a toe injury, Jennings was signed from the practice squad to the active roster to fill in behind TreVeyon Henderson in the team’s running back room. Jennings responded by racking up 35 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, while also catching one pass for another nine yards.

The New England Patriots didn’t make a deal on the trade deadline, but the team did check in on some players.

New England traded safety Kyler Dugger to the Pittsburgh Steelers and defensive end Keion White to the San Francisco 49ers. Although the Patriots are atop the AFC East, the team didn’t add any players, despite being interested in some.

NFL insider Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported on NBC Boston’s “Early Edition” on Tuesday that the Patriots “made a call” on Boye Mafe of the Seattle Seahawks.

Mafe is in the final year of his four-year, $8.5 million rookie...
