The Patriots’ 25-24 loss to the Colts on Sunday is still stinging here in New England, especially considering it was their second-highest scoring performance of the season. It’s just one point shy of their 25-22 win over the Jets over a month ago, which at the time was just their second victory of 2024.
They outgained Indy 422-252. But the Patriots were only 2-6 in the red zone, while Indy was 3-4. Penalties were once again an issue.
Sunday’s performance by New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was probably his best yet for a player who feels like he gets better each time he steps on the field. Maye put together an outstanding effort, completing 24-of-30 (80%) f0r 238 yards along with a touchdown and an interception.
This was a game the Patriots should have won. They shot themselves in the foot again with five trips into the Red Zone and they came away with just 2 TDs.
This week, they (Henry and Hooper) are facing a Colts defense that is among the worst in the league at defending tight ends.
The Indianapolis Colts come to Foxboro to face the Patriots on Sunday. The Colts are a very mediocre team with a huge question mark at QB.
The tight ends were (no surprise) a bright spot for the offense. They were targeted 12 times and had 10 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown.
The Patriots suffered an embarrassing loss at the hands of the Miami Dolphins. They historically don’t play well in Miami, and they have never beaten Tua Tagovailoa, who is now 7-0 against them. But to completely shut down and play no Defense in the 2nd quarter was amazing.
The one bright spot coming off another loss on Sunday for the New England Patriots is that their draft stock at least went up a notch.
Here’s what New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo had to say following the club’s 34-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Look for the Patriots and Maye to go to the quick passing game and attack the middle of the field. The TEs will feature this week.
Don Van Natta and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported last night that Bob Kraft has been passed over for selection to the Hall of Fame again. This is getting a bit ridiculous.
Heading into Thursday night’s Divisional showdown between the 8-2 Pittsburgh Steelers and the 2-8 Cleveland Browns, the New England Patriots found themselves sitting with the sixth overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft ahead of this weekend.
The Patriots travel to Miami to play in their house of horrors that is Hard Rock Stadium.
One of the biggest storylines as the New England Patriots have gone on to put up a 3-8 record during this 2024 campaign is the amount of costly mistakes that have ultimately proven to be too difficult to overcome.
Here are few notes leftover from the New England Patriots vs the Los Angele Rams game.
” He looks like a stud,” Rams’ coach Sean McVay said. “You can see just the impact that he has on his teammates.
One thing that has clearly stood out since Drake Maye took over has been the offense’s production, which continues to thrive with the rookie quarterback under center.
Following his blood clot diagnosis this summer, which put his status for 2024 – and potentially beyond – in question, seeing Christian Barmore back on the field on Sunday against the Rams was certainly a bright spot.
In a season where the expectations weren’t high to start with, it’s hard not to at least come away from Sunday’s loss with a reason to believe the Patriots really do have something special in Drake Maye.
There’s no question that Jerod Mayo and the coaching staff have faced their fair share of criticism in recent weeks, but Sunday’s decision to isolate Christian Gonzalez to the boundary was a gamble that unfortunately didn’t pay off.
McVay said of avoiding Gonzo. “There were some instances where we said if you can avoid him, let’s go ahead and do that.”
Here’s what New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo had to say during his press conference for Monday, November 18, 2024.
This loss to the Rams was a very frustrating loss since it was a very winnable game. I will not say that they are tanking or not trying to win but they cannot keep making the same mistakes. The Patriots do not have the talent to compensate and overcome their mistakes.
“Just to see Barmore out there, it was a great sight to see, head coach Jerod Mayo said. “There’s a chance [Barmore will play on Sunday].
