Patriots tackling bye week with a purpose: ‘We’re not satisfied’

The New England Patriots are torn between two worlds entering their bye week. On the one hand, they need some rest after playing football for 13 straight weeks.

Patriots vs. Giants snap counts: Rookie Elijah Ponder is on the rise

Taking a 30-7 halftime lead over the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, the New England Patriots were able to take their foot off the gas a bit in the second half.

Colorado LEFT OUT of penultimate CFP ranking

In a twist only seen in, I don’t know, most novels, the Colorado Buffaloes were left out of the CFBPPlayoff rankings announced on December 2nd.

Bills news: How sustainable is Buffalo’s success running the ball?

Kyle Shanahan should be the NFL coach of the year

There have been a lot of brilliant coaching performances in 2025.

As good as these performances have been, Kyle Shanahan […]

Week 14 Patriots Power Rankings: Pats on fire!

No turkey hangover for these Patriots. New England quickly put the New York Giants in a tryptophan funk after the visitors came out flat and the Patriots defense kept them flat all game long.
