The New England Patriots will be on the road to play the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in Week 7.

Although the Titans are 1-5, the game is an important one for Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. Vrabel was the Titans’ head coach for six seasons, and he said this week will be different for him.

“Well, I think it’s going to feel different, [but] it can’t be different,” Vrabel said on ‘The Greg Hill Show’ on Monday. “It has to be the way we prepare, the way that we try to put together a game plan. But, we have to...

Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason is impressed with New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.

The Patriots selected Maye third overall in the 2024 NFL Draft to be their franchise quarterback. To begin his sophomore season, Maye has been stellar, and he has impressed Esiason, who is a former MVP and Super Bowl champion.

“Really impressive, almost 70 percent passing,” Esiason said about Maye on the Greg Hill Show on Monday. “Again, no turnovers, that’s the key. He’s throwing the ball down the field. I mean, a couple of these throws down the field are really spectacular. You are getting these...

As the New England Patriots keep cruising, another AFC East rival is unraveling.

The Miami Dolphins dropped to 1-5 after Sunday’s 29-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. They’ve dropped their last four losses by a combined 11 points, starting with Week 2’s 33-27 shortcoming to the Patriots, after the Chargers kicked a game-winning field goal in the game’s closing seconds at Hard Rock Stadium.

After the Week 6 loss, per ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques, Tua Tagovailoa was asked how the Dolphins can bounce back from another heartbreaker. The sixth-year quarterback seemed to criticize his teammates when calling on himself and...

The New England Patriots, now 4-2 after a hard-fought 25-19 road victory over the New Orleans Saints in Week 6, have built momentum under head coach Mike Vrabel with young quarterback Drake Maye at the helm. Maye’s efficient play has fueled three wins in their last four games, but the receiving group could still use another weapon to terrorize defenses fully. With the NFL trade deadline on November 4, pursuing Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed—a contract-year speed demon—could provide the explosive element to propel New England toward the playoffs.

Through six games this season, Shaheed has been a top two...

Drake Maye kept the good times rolling on Sunday.

The 23-year-old quarterback led the New England Patriots to a 25-19 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Maye starred in another methodical performance, completing 18 of 26 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns at the Superdome.

Maye joined illustrious company with the Week 6 effort. NFL+ noted that he’s the fourth quarterback, alongside Dan Marino, Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott, to post at least 200 passing yards and a 100 quarterback rating in five straight games at age 23 or younger.

ESPN Insights also pointed out that Maye...

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is taking a second-year leap. Still less than two months past his 23rd birthday, Maye is looking like one of the most talented QBs in the National Football League. The most recent indication of his stardom was a three-touchdown performance in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Maye was 18-of-26 in the air for 261 yards. He garnered a 140.1 QBR in the 25-19 win over the Saints, who were notably impressed by Maye.

Maye now has 10 passing TDs to two interceptions on the season. He has 1,522 passing yards, fifth in...

Patience has been a virtue for DeMario Douglas five weeks into his third NFL season.

After being on the field for 62% of offensive snaps in 2024, his playtime decreased to just a third of the New England Patriots’ offensive snaps in 2025. His production went the same way: from an average of 3.9 catches and 36.5 yards per game all the way down to 1.4 and 6.0, respectively.

Formerly a crucial part of the Patriots’ receiver corps, Douglas was seemingly being phased out. Then came Sunday’s Week 6 game against the New Orleans Saints.

While the officials did take...

Ahead of this year’s training camp, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel explained that he was looking at his team’s performances in three categories. There is the good, the bad, and, as he called it, the s—t that gets you beat.

On Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, there was a lot more good than bad for Vrabel’s team or else it would not have won 25-19. That said, if the coach wants to look at the Patriots through the three categories he established, who are we to disagree? So, let’s break down the Week 6 game in exactly...

Stringing wins together has not been the New England Patriots’ forte over the last few seasons, but the 2025 version of the team has managed to do just that.

QB Drake Maye: Another week, another excellent showing from the Patriots young gunslinger. Maye started Sunday with a perfect first half completing 11-of-13 passes for 185 yards and three TDs to produce a perfect 158.3 passer rating and +1.10 EPA/play (100th percentile). Starting the year as an elite, low volume deep ball thrower, Maye unlocked the downfield area of...

Kayshon Boutte’s display Sunday showed why the New England Patriots have put their faith in the young wideout.

The performance even got the attention of an opposing safety who has gone against his share of talented pass-catchers.

Boutte had a team-high 93 yards receiving with a pair of touchdowns in Sunday’s 25-19 win over the New Orleans Saints. Both touchdowns put the Patriots in the lead after trailing.

The LSU product put on a show at Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and Saints veteran safety Justin Reid praised the 23-year-old after the game.

“He is just a talented kid,” Reid said after the...
