(AP) — Nick Folk kicked a 25-yard field goal with 2:32 left in overtime and the Tennessee Titans beat the New England Patriots 20-17 Sunday, giving coach Brian Callahan his first victory at home this season. The Titans (2-6) snapped both a three-game skid overall and […]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Patriots rookie Drake Maye remained in the NFL’s concussion protocol on Wednesday, limiting his ability to practice for New England’s game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. If he can’t play, Jacoby Brissett will start at quarterback. “(Maye) will throw the ball at times in practice, but he will be limited,” […]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs acquired pass rusher Josh Uche from the New England Patriots for a 2026 sixth-round pick on Monday, giving one of the NFL’s best defenses an upgrade at a position where it was looking for some help. Uche will take the roster spot of tight end Jody […]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Inches from the goal line with one last chance to punch in the game-winning score, the New England Patriots proved to be tough enough to beat Aaron Rodgers and the stumbling New York Jets. Rhamondre Stevenson plunged through the line for his second touchdown with 22 seconds left on Sunday and […]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Jets are too flat. The Patriots are too soft. What was once a fight for supremacy in the AFC East now sounds more like a Yelp review for throw pillows. Losers of their last four games, the New York Jets (2-5) stumble into New England on Sunday to play the […]

The New England Patriots’ six-game losing streak may not hurt as much as their coach calling them soft. After a 32-16 loss in London to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who came into the game tied with New England at the bottom of the NFL with just one win, coach Jerod Mayo admitted what anyone watching his once-proud franchise […]

LONDON (AP) — Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye deflected questions about his knee Friday and said he’s ready to make his second career start when New England faces the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. Maye, the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, said he’s “feeling good” despite appearing on the injury report […]

By KEN MAGUIRE AP Sports Writer LONDON (AP) — They’ll toil and sweat but hopefully without the blood and tears. A London game is more than just a typical road trip for NFL teams. It’s a chance to learn about local history, too. In fact, the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars — who play Sunday […]

Drake Maye should have a more favorable matchup in his second NFL start. Just ask fellow rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. Maye and the skidding New England Patriots will travel across the pond to play the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday. And no one needs to point out Jacksonville’s defensive flaws to […]

By BRENDAN McGAIR Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Drake Maye got words of encouragement from another high draft pick on Sunday after the New England Patriots lost to the Texans in the rookie’s first career start. A year ago, Houston’s C.J. Stroud was in Maye’s shoes — a first-year quarterback entrusted to lead the […]

By BRENDAN McGAIR Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — C.J. Stroud threw three touchdown passes and the Houston Texans spoiled the first start of rookie New England quarterback Drake Maye, breezing past the Patriots 41-21 on Sunday. Joe Mixon rushed for 102 yards and caught a TD pass from Stroud after the veteran missed the […]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots are turning things over to Drake Maye, and his first shot will come against the AFC South-leading Houston Texans. The first-round draft pick is replacing Jacoby Brissett as the starter in the hopes that he can snap the Patriots’ four-game losing streak. But he’ll have to do […]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Jacoby Brissett won only one game as the New England Patriots’ starting quarterback. Now we’ll find out if he was any better as a mentor for first-round draft pick Drake Maye. The Patriots are going with Maye as the starter for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans, coach Jerod Mayo confirmed […]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots are planning to give first-round draft pick Drake Maye his first pro start in the hopes of ending a four-game losing streak under veteran journeyman quarterback Jacoby Brissett, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity on […]

BRAINTREE, Mass. (AP) — Patriots captain Jabrill Peppers was arrested over the weekend on assault, strangulation and other charges, with police saying Peppers attacked a girlfriend after she received a phone call while they were in bed together. Peppers, 29, appeared for his arraignment Monday in Quincy District Court. Not guilty pleas were entered on the charges, […]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins made just enough plays to beat the New England Patriots and enough mistakes to lose to just about anyone else. A blocked punt. Two missed field goals — one off the upright and one on a botched snap. Another snap over the quarterback’s head, taking Miami out range […]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — This could have been a matchup of exciting young quarterbacks, with Tua Tagovailoa and Drake Maye taking the field for the Dolphins and Patriots. Instead, we get Tyler Huntley and Jacoby Brissett. The two, once-proud franchises and longtime AFC East rivals stumble into Week 5 with their best quarterbacks on the […]

Rhamondre Stevenson was supposed to give the New England Patriots one position it didn’t have to worry about coming into the season. The Patriots running back gained more than 1,000 yards in 2022 and was good enough over his first three years to earn a four-year, $36 million contract extension this summer. With journeyman Jacoby […]

(AP) — Brock Purdy threw a touchdown pass, Fred Warner returned an interception for a score and the San Francisco 49ers snapped a two-game skid by beating the New England Patriots 30-13 on Sunday. After losing on the road at Minnesota and against the Los […]

By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Pro Football Writer EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers knows a little bit about fierce NFL rivalries. He helped fuel one during his 18 seasons in Green Bay. Now the quarterback of the New York Jets (1-1), Rodgers is getting his official introduction to what has lately been a […]

The New England Patriots showed in Week 2 why they are sticking with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback over first-round draft pick Drake Maye. Not because Brissett is moving the offense with his arm, or even his legs. But because it’s not yet safe for Maye to line up behind the Patriots’ offensive line. Brissett was […]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots were so bad last year they fired six-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick. The Seattle Seahawks weren’t much better, reason enough to get rid of Pete Carroll — the only coach ever to lead them to the NFL title. And on Sunday night, one of those teams […]

Jerod Mayo picked up a victory in his first game as a head coach, something Bill Belichick wasn’t able to do in his debut with either the New England Patriots or the Cleveland Browns. The former Patriots linebacker began his tenure replacing the future Hall of Famer on the New England sideline with a 16-10 victory […]
