The New England Patriots are gearing up for their Week 13 contest against the New York Giants, but before that happens, the team and its players will celebrate Thanksgiving this week. Ahead of the holiday, quarterback Drake Maye and his wife, Ann Michael, made sure to find a way to give back to their local community.

There’s a lot to like about Maye. His play on the field is obviously quite impressive, as he’s thrown for 3,130 yards and 21 touchdowns through 12 games to help New England emerge as one of the top teams in the league this year....

The New England Patriots are having one of the best seasons in the NFL this year. For one of their old friends, Tom Brady, the 2025 campaign has been a nightmare for his new squad, the Las Vegas Raiders, and his frustrations appear to be boiling over.

Brady is most well-known for his legendary career in the NFL as a player, but after he retired, he ended up becoming a minority owner of the Raiders. While he isn’t directly involved in the front office, it’s become common knowledge that his influence within the building is quite large.

One decision Brady...

Mike Kafka once joined the quarterback room in Foxborough on a futures contract. But the connections between the New England Patriots and New York Giants extend beyond the interim head coach. Beyond the staffs featuring Carmen Bricillo, James Ferentz, Troy Brown, Bryan Cox, Cam Achord, Zak Kuhr, Ben McAdoo and Tom Quinn, too.

From the active rosters to the practice squads to the reserve lists, 10 current players in the fold for Monday night have been a member of both locker rooms.

Here’s a glance through that list of former Patriots and former Giants heading into the 8:15 p.m. ET...

In the aftermath of their Week 12 win in Cincinnati, which saw several players go down with injuries, the New England Patriots made a series of transactions. On Tuesday, the team signed offensive tackle Thayer Munford Jr. from the Cleveland Browns practice squad to its active roster, sent cornerback Alex Austin to injured reserve, and brought back interior offensive lineman Bill Murray to take a spot on the practice squad previously held by now-released running back Jonathan Ward.

Let’s analyze the moves, focusing on the two additions as well as Austin going to IR.

The New England Patriots were able to survive their Week 12 game against the Bengals, leaving Cincinnati with a 26-20 victory in hand. Getting that win was a challenge, though: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel did not just have to fight through some uneven play but also multiple injuries to key players.

There were some standout performances, but on the whole the Patriots — in part due to the circumstances — did not look their best versus the three-win Bengals. Our position grades from the game reflect this as well.

Patriots position grades from NFL Week 12 -----------------------------------------...

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is having an outstanding start to the season. Although he occasionally finds himself in tricky situations, he responds quickly and bounces back effectively.

Former Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer has been impressed by the confidence Maye has shown this season.

“It’s just amazing to me how he weathers the storm and just has that internal confidence,” Hoyer said on Tuesday during “WEEI Afternoons”. “That’s when the folklore of a player starts to grow.”

Maye has passed for 3,130 yards and thrown 21 touchdowns against just six interceptions this season. However, what stands out most about...

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced its final group of semifinalists for the 2026 class on Tuesday. Among the 26 modern-era players to garner enough support among voters are six with ties to the New England Patriots.

The group is headed by franchise legends Rodney Harrison, Vince Wilfork and Adam Vinatieri and also includes short-time Patriots Fred Taylor, Torry Holt and Reggie Wayne.

Logan Mankins, James Harrison and Asante Samuel, on the other hand, did not make the cut.

Harrison saw action in a combined 199 regular season and playoff games over the course of his 15-year career in...

The New England Patriots have discovered a promising talent in rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson over the course of the last five games.

Henderson rushed for 405 yards and four touchdowns in the last five contests and could be on his way to another big game this upcoming week.

New England will host the Giants on “Monday Night Football”, and Henderson could feast on New York’s rushing defense.

Pro Football Focus ranked the Giants’ run defense last in the NFL, presenting an opportunity for the Patriots to capitalize on this weakness.

The Giants allowed Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs...

The New England Patriots faced several injuries on the left side of their offensive line during Sunday’s victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Left guard Jared Wilson suffered an ankle injury and is now considered “week to week,” while left tackle Will Campbell is believed to be dealing with an MCL sprain.

There’s a strong possibility that both players could be sidelined for a few weeks. However, former Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer believes that New England’s offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, is crucial for navigating through these injuries.

“This is where you are thankful you have an experienced offensive coordinator who can...

The New England Patriots should consider bringing in young receiver talent to support Drake Maye, and they can begin that process in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Since New England has one of the top teams in the NFL, it will likely pick late in the first round. However, there should still be a solid amount of receiver talent available on the board.

CBS Sports NFL writer Blake Brockermeyer released a mock draft that has the Patriots selecting Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion with their 32nd pick.

“Concepcion brings elite speed and versatility to stretch defenses vertically while also working...

The New England Patriots’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday was a costly one. While they did manage to improve to 10-2 and move into sole possession of the top seed in the AFC, they did so at a cost.

Left tackle Will Campbell and left guard Jared Wilson both suffered injuries in the game, and will miss time as a consequence. Campbell sprained his MCL in the third quarter of the 26-20 win, and is expected to be out multiple weeks. Wilson, meanwhile, suffered a high ankle sprain on the game’s third snap and is considered week-to-week.
