The New England Patriots won’t be too undermanned during their matchup with the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Carlton Davis III (hip), Christian Elliss (illness), Marcus Jones (knee) and Harold Landry III (knee) each missed the first two practices of the week on Wednesday and Thursday, but returned on Friday and will be active for a pivotal game at M&T Bank Stadium.

Robert Spillane (ankle), Marcus Bryant, CJ Dippre, Efton Chism III and Tommy DeVito will all be healthy scratches. Spillane was ruled out on Friday.

Bradyn Swinson and Eric Gregory, who have been healthy scratches in recent weeks, will be...

The Buffalo Bills apparently play better when their head coach can’t see as well.

Buffalo improved to 11-4 with a 23-20 win over the Cleveland Browns. Sunday marked the team’s fourth straight victory, and there’s one commonality from that stretch.

CBS Sports showed a graphic with some hard-hitting statistical analysis during the Week 16 contest. The Bills entered the game 3-3 when Sean McDermott wears glasses, but they improved to 8-1 without them after the head coach shunned his eyewear on Sunday.

McDermott’s only loss without glasses came against the New England Patriots in Week 5. The Bills split their...

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye recently praised Indianapolis Colts signal-caller Philip Rivers amid the 44-year-old’s shocking return to the NFL.

Patriots third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito also discussed Rivers’ comeback but wasn’t so sure about the eight-time Pro Bowler’s decision.

“That’s a lot of time to be removed from the game to hop back into it,” DeVito said, according to a report by ESPN’s Mike Reiss. “I get that he knows the offense, but that almost feels like a ‘danger zone’ depending on how much you’ve been working out or training. I’m sure he was training, but then there’s football...

The New England Patriots have been one of the best teams in the NFL this season, but the season has not been so kind to their rival, the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are eliminated from playoff contention and have benched their starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa.

Tagovailoa has struggled to stay healthy in the last few years and has failed to be a consistent option for the Dolphins. He signed a four-year, $212 million extension with the Dolphins before the 2024 season, on the heels of a Pro Bowl campaign. However, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Dolphins are unlikely...

Drake Maye and the New England Patriots could use their Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills as a valuable learning experience.

New England ended a 10-game winning streak and missed a chance to win the division when a 21-0 lead evaporated at home last Sunday. Maye reflected on the missed opportunity before a Week 16 clash with the Baltimore Ravens.

Former Patriots champion Devin McCourty asked Maye about lessons learned from the Bills loss in an NBC interview before the “Sunday Night Football” showcase.

“When you get a lead, it’s what we’ve been saying all season, is finally somebody...

The New England Patriots fumbled a chance to clinch the AFC East when losing to the Buffalo Bills last weekend. Rex Ryan blamed Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels for the Week 15 letdown.

Up 21-0, New England’s offense stumbled in the second half of a 35-31 loss. Meanwhile, Josh Allen steered five straight touchdown drives at Gillette Stadium.

Ryan, who faced the Patriots often as a former Bills and New York Jets head coach, pointed the finger at New England’s head coach and offensive coordinator on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown.”

“I’ve been on Vrabel as like, ‘This is the Coach...

The Patriots will attempt to shake off the sting of a disappointing loss to the Bills when they hit the road for a Week 16 matchup with the Ravens.

After building a 21-0 lead in the first half against Buffalo, New England seemed to be cruising toward the AFC East crown. The Bills refused to back down, though, rallying for a stunning 35-31 victory and snapping the Patriots’ 10-game winning streak.

Luckily for the New England Patriots, the Cincinnati Bengals refuted an AFC East rival’s aggressive overtures for Joe Burrow in 2020.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that the Miami Dolphins offered the Bengals four first-round picks for the No. 1 pick of the 2020 NFL Draft so they could snag Burrow. Cincinnati never entertained trade discussions.

The Dolphins steered the Bengals closer to Burrow with a Week 16 overtime win over Cincinnati in the 2019 season. Miami then concluded the schedule with an upset over New England in Tom Brady’s final regular-season game with the Patriots.

As a result, the...

Drake Maye has become the new face of the New England Patriots, but his wife, Ann Michael, has also become popular.

Ann Michael has been doing a daily TikTok video sharing her baking during December, leading up to Christmas, calling it Bakemas. The videos have been going viral, and Maye was asked about her rise in popularity ahead of the Patriots’ “Sunday Night Football” game against the Baltimore Ravens.

“I think it happened fast,” Maye said to Sunday Night Football on Fox. “During the Holiday season in the last couple of weeks, it’s taken off. But I think it’s just...

The New England Patriots’ division rival, the New York Jets, is expected to keep Aaron Glenn as their head coach in 2026.

New York hired Glenn to be their head coach last offseason after serving as the Detroit Lions’ defensive coordinator. Yet, Glenn has struggled in his first year as head coach, as the Jets are 3-11.

Despite the struggles this season, NFL insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that the Jets won’t fire Glenn after one season, as it had been rumored.

“Aaron Glenn’s first 11 months as New York Jets head coach have been loud and occasionally...

Oddsmakers may remain dubious of the New England Patriots, but several ESPN analysts believe they’ll finish the weekend with a playoff berth.

The Patriots can clinch a postseason appearance with a win over the Baltimore Ravens on “Sunday Night Football.” Mike Vrabel’s 11-3 squad enters the road games as underdogs against the 7-7 Ravens, who aim to keep pace with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North.

In a panel of four ESPN betting analysts, all of them picked New England to cover the spread and hit the moneyline with a Week 16 victory. Pamela Maldonado explained why the Patriots...

A cool and catchy nickname often accompanies sports stardom, which means fans may need to keep brainstorming a better moniker for Drake Maye.

In the midst of a breakout season, Maye has become the recipient of a head-scratching new nickname. Social media users have taken to calling the second-year quarterback Drake “Drake Maye” Maye for reasons beyond sensible explanation.

Fans may have polarizing takes on the odd trend, but Maye doesn’t seem to mind. The 23-year-old laughed when former Patriots star Devin McCourty mentioned the nickname to start an NBC interview shared on Saturday.

“I don’t know,” Maye said of...
