Patriots fans are expressing buyer’s remorse after trading a first‑round pick for former Eagles star A.J. Brown, who has struggled in his New England debut. In the week‑1 loss to the Jets, Brown caught three passes for 48 yards and failed to make big plays, with lingering rust and a possible injury limiting his impact. The criticism intensifies as the Patriots sit shorthanded at wide receiver following injuries to Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins. Meanwhile, the Eagles juggle their own injury woes, with Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert listed as limited, while the team considers roster moves ahead of Monday Night Football against the Cowboys.

When Mike Vrabel coached A.J. Brown in Tennessee, the wide receiver recorded two 1,000-yard seasons in three years before the two parted ways. Brown reunited with Vrabel in New England for the 2026 season, but he has yet to make the same impact with his former coach.

The Chicago Bears edged the New England Patriots 30‑24 at Soldier Field on Oct. 22, 2026, holding a wire‑to‑wire lead. Caleb Williams posted his second straight 300‑plus‑yard passing game (300+ yards, no interceptions), joining franchise legends Mitch Trubisky and Billy Wade. Chicago topped New England in yards (405‑380), first downs (21‑20), and 4th‑down conversions (2‑0), while also forcing the only turnover with a pick‑six off Drake Maye. Key plays included a 53‑yard field‑goal miss followed by Cairo Santos’ career‑long 58‑yard kicker to seal the win. On defense, the Bears limited the Patriots to 44 rushing yards and tied for the team lead with four sacks from safety Kyler Gordon.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye looks solid, but a short‑week Thursday Night Football loss to the Bears on Oct. 23 exposes New England’s depth woes. A crucial end‑zone interception, ticky‑tack penalties and a struggling offensive line led to a low‑scoring defeat, while the Bears capitalized on missed tackles and a key holding call. The author laments Thursday Night Football’s timing, praises the Bears, and notes the Patriots’ inability to protect the ball, especially on a 4th‑and‑5 play, despite a decent offensive effort from A.J. Brown. The piece wraps up that the better‑executed team won.
The Patriots' quarterback has been on a tear in recent weeks, and although his efforts didn't lead to a win in Week 7, they shouldn't go unnoticed.
The Patriots might have to keep TreVeyon Henderson on the sidelines in key situations.
The Patriots fell 30-24 to the Bears on Thursday Night Football, a loss the blog blames on self‑inflicted mistakes. Despite Caleb Williams shining for Chicago, New England’s offense, led by Drake Maye’s 300‑plus yards and a 48‑yard TD run by Rhamondre Stevenson, couldn’t capitalize, while the defense missed 16 tackles and looked fatigued. Key takeaways include poor tackling—cornerbacks Marcus Jones and Charles Woods lead the mishaps—and the need for a rest week to heal. Post‑game reactions from coach Mike Vrabel and players highlight Maye’s resilience and Stevenson’s highlight play, but stress that the Patriots must fix their defensive lapses.

The Chicago Bears' 31‑24 win over the New England Patriots lifts them to 5‑2, cementing second place in a tightly contested NFC North behind the 5‑0 Vikings. With the Lions at 3‑2 and the Packers at 4‑2, Thursday night’s matchup between Detroit and Green Bay will likely decide the division’s third contender.

A.J. Brown struggled in the Patriots’ 30-24 loss to the Chicago Bears, catching just three of six targets for 48 yards—the fourth‑most on the team—after returning from a high‑ankle sprain. Despite playing 92% of snaps and hauling 142 air yards, he couldn’t convert deep throws, echoing a quiet 27‑yard effort against the Jets four days earlier. Coach Mike Vrabel remains optimistic, noting Brown’s role in the offense and the recent loss of Romeo Douws, which could boost his target share. Fantasy managers are urged to stay patient; Brown is a WR3 with upside in PPR leagues, but a trade may be considered while his value is low.
