Bill Belichick’s Family “Breathing a Sigh of Relief” After His Secret Split From Jordan Hudson
According to Page Six, Bill Belichick’s family feels relief after the coach’s year‑long secret breakup with model Jordan Hudson, but they remain wary of her lingering influence on his professional affairs. Sources say age gaps never bothered them; the concern was Hudson’s involvement in team matters. The split, publicized only last month, adds a new twist to the Patriots legend’s personal life.
Patriots Signing LB Elias Neal
The New England Patriots add 25‑year‑old linebacker Elias Neal to their practice squad, according to Mike Reiss. Neal entered the NFL as an undrafted Marshall graduate, making the Rams’ 53‑man roster in 2024 before moving between the active roster and practice squad. He was released by the Rams in late October 2026 after two game appearances without recording a statistic. The move gives New England depth at linebacker heading into the latter part of the season.
Patriots vs. Dolphins reactions and review: Tuesday Thoughts With The Earl
In Week 8, the Miami Dolphins squandered a 13‑3 halftime lead to fall 24‑19 to the New England Patriots. Quarterback Tua Willis wasn’t the main culprit—he spread the ball to nine targets and kept the offense competitive—while the O line struggled early, allowing five sacks. The real issue, according to The Phinsider’s Earl, is the defense: a porous secondary that’s letting 76.9% of passes complete (on pace for the worst ever) and a run defense that, despite decent YPA allowed, faces a high volume of attempts. Poor third‑down conversion (50.6%) and a lack of forced punts (second‑worst) also hurt, leaving the Dolphins unable to close out games.

Rhamondre Stevenson is exactly who the Patriots offense needs right now
Amid a wave of injuries that wiped out most of the Patriots' skill positions, the New England offense still managed a 24-19 win over Miami on Nov. 3, 2026, thanks in large part to veteran running back Rhamondle Stevenson. The sixth‑year back logged 82 rushing yards on 19 carries, three catches for eight yards, recovered an onside kick and displayed crucial pass‑protection and leadership. Coach Mike Vrabel praised Stevenson’s versatility, ball security improvements and ability to thrive despite a depleted offensive line, noting his recent milestone of joining the franchise’s 4,000‑yard club. Stevenson’s steady production and toughness are portrayed as the exact piece the Patriots need right now.
Packers vs. Patriots bold predictions for NFL Week 9
In Week 9, the Packers travel to New England facing a Patriots team that’s rebounding after an early‑season stumble.

New England counters with quarterback Drake Maye, who’s on pace for 225 yards and two scores, and a stout 9th‑ranked scoring defense that allows just 20.3 points per game. Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to grind out 75+ yards and a TD. The preview projects a close 27‑24 Patriots victory.
