The New England Patriots are in the middle of a 10-game win streak, and a big reason for their success in 2025 has been the play of second-year quarterback Drake Maye. One guy who has played a big role in helping Maye turn himself into a de facto MVP candidate is offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

In his third stint as the Patriots’ offensive coordinator, McDaniels was brought in by head coach Mike Vrabel to help Maye take the next step forward in his development. Through 13 games, Maye has thrown for 3,412 yards and 23 touchdowns, so it’s safe to...

The Patriots have several areas to address during the offseason, and one key focus could be bringing in a cornerback to play alongside Christian Gonzalez.

ESPN’s Field Yates published a mock draft on Wednesday and had the Patriots drafting Tennessee cornerback Colton Hood at pick 30.

“Under coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots have made such a leap that they don’t have an immediate need to fill if the board falls this way,” Yates wrote. “But the team generally needs more cornerback depth behind All-Pro Christian Gonzalez, as Carlton Davis III will turn 29 in a few weeks.

“Hood has some...

The New England Patriots will take on the Buffalo Bills for the second time this season in Week 15, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. After Stefon Diggs delivered the goods for the Pats the first time these two teams met up in Week 5, Stephen A. Smith believes a similar performance could be in store once again.

After a bit of a slow start to the season, Diggs broke out in a big way for New England in its first meeting against Buffalo. In the 23-20 victory, Diggs caught 10 passes for 146 yards, as he torched his former...

The New England Patriots will have a shot to wrap up the AFC East division in Week 15 by picking up a victory over the Buffalo Bills. And while the Pats beat the Bills earlier this season, taking them down a second time is going to be easier said than done.

With an 11-2 record, New England has the inside track when it comes to clinching the top spot in its division. Thanks to several tiebreakers that are in the team’s favor, it would take a catastrophic collapse over the final four games of the season for the Pats to...

The New England Patriots enter Week 15 of the 2025 NFL campaign with an 11-2 record, and much of that is due to the play of second-year quarterback Drake Maye. With Maye turning into a star in front of our eyes, he’s quickly become one of the most popular players in the league.

On the field, it’s not hard to see what the allure is with Maye. In 13 games, he’s thrown for 3,412 yards and 23 touchdowns, while also rushing for 319 yards and another pair of scores. Off the field, though, Maye’s humble demeanor and laid-back personality have...

On Sunday afternoon, the New England Patriots will play their biggest game in years when they host the Buffalo Bills for a pivotal Week 15 showdown.

Not only is it a late-season divisional game, but it’s also a chance for the Patriots to clinch their first AFC East title since 2019.

It won’t be easy for New England, however, which is listed as a slight home underdog. While the Patriots are coming off their bye week, the Bills are the toughest team they’ve faced in weeks.

Furthermore, New England already beat Buffalo back in Week 5, and it’s notoriously difficult...

The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills will engage in a very important rematch in Week 15 that will pit two of the best quarterbacks in the league, Drake Maye and Josh Allen, against each other for the second time this season.

Earlier this year, the Pats picked up a statement victory over the Bills with a 23-20 victory in Week 5. Since then, New England has been on a roll, and with each passing week, it looks more and more like a Super Bowl contender.

That’s been due in large part to the play of Maye under center. Many...

A lot has gone right for the New England Patriots in the 2025 campaign, which isn’t much of a surprise when taking a look at their 11-2 record. While the players and coaching staff deserve much of the praise for going out and delivering the goods, the front office deserves its fair share of praise as well.

Eliot Wolf has emerged as the leader in the Pats’ front office, but he certainly isn’t alone when it comes to the construction of the team’s roster. One guy who has played a big role in helping rebuild New England in the blink...

The New England Patriots will return to action in Week 15 after enjoying their bye week in Week 14, and when they do, they will be taking on the Buffalo Bills for the second time this season. With so much being on the line in this one, it’s safe to say this is the Patriots’ biggest game of the season.

The Pats announced themselves to the world back in Week 5 with a shocking 23-20 victory over the Bills on Sunday Night Football. That helped kickstart an ongoing 10-game win streak that has helped New England seize control of the...

Winners of 10 straight games and owners of an 11-2 record overall, the New England Patriots are in the driver’s seat for their first AFC East championship since 2019. In fact, they can secure the title as early as this Sunday. Standing in their way, however, is a formidable opponent: the five-time reigning division champion Buffalo Bills.

The two teams already met earlier this season, with the Patriots celebrating a 23-20 upset win on the road. A lot has changed in the two months since, however, so let’s take a closer look at New England’s upcoming opponent.

Bills key stats...

Things have changed since the New England Patriots crossed paths with the Buffalo Bills in October. But some familiarity remains beyond the coaching likes of Doug Marrone, Robert Kugler, Todd Downing, Scott Booker and Mike Pellegrino this December.

Four former Bills can be found between the 53-man roster, practice squad and injured reserve in Foxborough, while one former Patriot can be found in Orchard Park.

Here’s a glance though the ties heading into Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET AFC East rematch at Gillette Stadium.
