The New England Patriots surge to seventh in the latest NFL power rankings after a three‑game winning streak, highlighted by a 26‑19 victory over the New York Jets. Quarterback Drake Maye’s improved rhythm, decision‑making and play‑extension drive the offense, while a steadier defense shows better coordination and tackling. Returning wideout A.J. Brown adds another threat, though he’s still shaking off rust. The combo of Maye’s development and defensive upgrades fuels optimism that the Patriots can keep climbing the AFC ladder as the season progresses.

It serves as more proof that no lead is safe when two Eastern Conference powerhouses match up with one another. So the Boston Celtics should feel good after how they lost to the Detroit Pistons... right?
On Thursday Night Football, the Chicago Bears surrendered a 48‑yard, last‑second touchdown that turned a 20‑7 halftime lead into a tighter contest. With 14 seconds left in the second quarter, Patriots QB Drake Maye hit A.J. Brown to midfield, then faced six rushing pass‑rushers as Chicago blitzed. Maye tossed a short pass to Rhamondre Stevenson, who ran untouched into the end zone for his first career TD pass, boosting New England’s win probability from 10.2% to 24.5%. The Patriots closed the half still trailing by two scores, and Chicago later responded on the opening drive of the third quarter.

Celtics star Jayson Tatum reflects on his partnership with Jaylen Brown and the trade that broke them up.
The Celtics host the Knicks for their second regular‑season game on Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. ET in TD Garden. Both 0‑1 teams are hunting their first win, and the matchup pits Boston’s revamped roster—featuring free‑agent signings Mitchell Robinson, Mike Conley and the Paul George‑Jordan Walsh trade—against New York’s core of Jalen Brunson, Karl‑Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. Key battles include White vs. Brunson and Tatum vs. Josh Hart. Boston starts White, Walsh, George, Tatum and Robinson, while the Knicks likely stick with Brunson, Bridges, Anunoby, Hart and Towns. Devin Carter is out with illness; Robinson’s ankle looks day‑to‑day.
Jayson Tatum breaks down the exact moment he learned Jaylen Brown was traded to the 76ers and addresses speculation over his involvement in the deal.
The Celtics, still Eastern Conference contenders after trading Jaylen Brown, seek a major upgrade. Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale lists three top trade targets for 2026‑27: 3‑point specialist Trey Murphy III (38.2% career threes, two consecutive 20‑point seasons) from the Pelicans; affordable two‑way guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (team‑option deal at $2.4 M) who could relieve shooting guards; and gritty forward Naji Marshall, who posted a career‑high 15 ppg with Dallas and offers defensive intensity. Each fits head coach Joe Mazzulla’s system and could bolster Boston’s roster for a stacked Eastern Conference.

The Windy City Gridiron board invites fans to a live discussion of the Bears (4-2) vs. Patriots (4-2) at Soldier Field on Oct. 22, 2026. Highlights include a pre‑game speech by Devin Bush, the second career duel between 2024 top draft picks Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, and a coach showdown between offensive‑focused Ben Johnson and defensive specialist Mike Vrabel.

The Patriots (4‑2) head to Chicago to face the equally 4‑2 Bears in a clash that pits rookie QB Drake Maye against former Heisman star Caleb Williams. Maye is on a three‑game tear with 10 touchdowns and no interceptions, but New England’s offensive line is riddled with injuries. Chicago’s secondary is thin, especially with All‑Pro corner Christian Gonzalez sick, while the Bears’ offense is firing after Williams logged 300‑plus yards and a TD against Atlanta. Both defenses could be tested, and the game could turn into a high‑scoring showdown, as the Bears recently posted a 31‑20 win over New England.

Seattle’s defense heads into the upcoming showdown with Kansas City crippled by injuries. The Seahawks sit 3-3 after back‑to‑back losses to the 49ers and Broncos, while the Chiefs sit unbeaten at 5-0 thanks to a healthy Patrick Mahomes and league‑leading rusher Kenneth Walker (133 yards per game). Seattle’s front seven is hit hard: linebacker Drake Thomas missed Week 6, Demarcus Lawrence battles a knee issue, and Uchenna Nwosu deals with a hip problem, leaving backups Tyrice Knight, Chazz Surratt and Connor O’Toole in unfamiliar roles. Offensively, Zach Charbonnet, Anthony Bradford and Rashid Shaheed are fully available to support a struggling Sam Darnold against a Chiefs defense that ranks second in points allowed.

The Patriots return A.J. Brown from injury and field several former Eagles, while the Bears list LB T.J. Edwards as doubtful and feature DL Kentavius Street and RB D’Andre Swift. Prime Video broadcasts the 8:15 PM EST game, with odds favoring Chicago at -3. Fans can join the live discussion in the comments.
