Philip Rivers turned heads by coming out of retirement this week to rejoin the Indianapolis Colts, whom he played his most recent NFL game for nearly five years ago.

Rivers, who just turned 44 on Monday, has been practicing with the Colts this week, potentially putting him in line to start Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Tom Brady knows about coming out of retirement and playing at that age. The New England Patriots legend famously unretired after the 2021 campaign, coming back to play one more season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at age 45 in 2022.

Brady hasn’t...

A lot has changed for the New England Patriots since Tom Brady left after the 2019 season, but some things are still the same.

One of those things is the offensive coordinator, as Josh McDaniels is still calling plays for the Patriots on the sidelines.

Now in his third stint as New England’s offensive coordinator, McDaniels is still good friends with Brady, who discussed him and Drake Maye with Colin Cowherd on Friday’s episode of “The Herd.”

So far, the seven-time Super Bowl champ loves everything he’s seen from and heard about Maye.

“Josh McDaniels is still one of my...

The New England Patriots are having an outstanding season, and they could end up holding the Vince Lombardi Trophy in Santa Clara, Calif.

New England will need several key factors to come together if it hopes to secure its seventh Super Bowl title. According to Brad Gagnon from Bleacher Report, the Patriots could benefit from a standout performance from quarterback Drake Maye, along with momentum and the advantage of playing at home.

“Basically all of the above in addition to the fact the Patriots have a good shot at home field throughout the playoffs,” Gagnon wrote on Friday. “Maye is...

One of the biggest stories in the NFL this week is the return of 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers to the Indianapolis Colts.

While some players in the NFL today have never faced Rivers, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel competed against Phillips for several years.

During Vrabel’s media availability on Friday, reporters asked him for his thoughts on Rivers’ return.

“I always loved playing against him, a competitor, great for this league, and see how it goes,” Vrabel said.

Rivers hasn’t played in the NFL since 2020. Rivers played 17 seasons in the NFL, 16 with the Chargers and one with...

The New England Patriots better get their shots in now, because they’ll soon have to deal with an even scarier version of the Buffalo Bills.

Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld are going to be parents, which means the former is going to have dad strength…

Allen and Steinfeld announced the news on Friday, with the actress posting a video featuring the couple holding hands in front of a tiny snowman — as well as a few other indicators. The Bills shared screenshots from the video on X.

The NFL then shared the video:

The New England Patriots have done a lot of things right this season, and they have a chance to punch their ticket to the playoffs in Week 15 by earning their 11th-straight win. Of course, that will be a tall task, as the team has a rematch with the Buffalo Bills on its schedule.

This isn’t the first time these two teams have met this season. New England announced itself to the NFL by earning a 23-20 victory over Buffalo on Sunday Night Football back in Week 5, which helped jumpstart their aforementioned win streak.

While the Bills debuted their...

The New England Patriots are gearing up for their biggest game of the season, as they will be taking on the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. With a chance to wrap up the AFC East division, the stakes could not be higher, and it seems like there’s a unique bit of added intrigue heading into this game.

The Pats took down the Bills in these two teams’ first matchup this season, as New England walked into Highmark Stadium and handed Buffalo a surprising 23-20 defeat on Sunday Night Football in Week 5. That helped kickstart the 10-game win streak the...

The New England Patriots will be without one of their primary reserves during Sunday’s matchup with the Buffalo Bills.

Terrell Jennings was officially ruled out on Friday. Robert Spillane, who was limited during that afternoon’s practice, is listed as questionable on the club’s injury report.

Jennings, the clubs de-facto third-string running back, did not practice during the week after suffering a concussion in the club’s Week 13 victory over the New York Giants. Spillane is dealing with a foot injury that popped up in that same win, which limited him to a season-low in snaps (38; 69.1%).

The Buffalo Bills could be without a star cornerback on Sunday when they go on the road to play the New England Patriots.

Buffalo’s top cornerback, Christian Benford, was on the injury report on Thursday due to a toe injury he suffered in practice. On Friday, Bills’ head coach Sean McDermott gave an update on Benford and admitted he wasn’t sure if he would be able to play on Sunday.

“We really don’t know,” McDermott said on Friday. “Just 24 hours off of the incident, so we will see how today goes.”

When asked if it would be a long-term...

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel announced that the club intends to add running back D’Ernest Johnson to the active roster ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Buffalo Bills, as shared by ESPN’s Mike Reiss on Friday.

It’s looking like they won’t be left scrambling, after all…

Terrell Jennings, the club’s third-string running back, missed the week of practice after suffering a concussion during their Week 13 victory over the New York Giants — leaving the team with only two healthy options at the position: Rhamondre Stevenson and Rhamondre Stevenson.

Nobody knows more about playing quarterback under Josh McDaniels than Tom Brady.

As Brady now continues to watch film for his role broadcasting games with FOX, he has now watched Patriots quarterback Drake Maye adjust to life in that same system. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has been left impressed.

“With Drake, he has the physical ability, he has the size. In terms of physical skillset, his downfield passing ability is awesome,” Brady said during and interview on “The Herd” with Colin Cowherd. “Josh McDaniels has done an incredible job this year for the Patriots. Drake is running the same...
