John Harbaugh:

Anyone watching the AFC Championship games this weekend was reminded of one key thing after watching the Baltimore Ravens go down on Sunday. Being able to handle pressure in big moments will be the biggest question facing Jerod Mayo in the coming years, as will whoever ultimately ends up under center here in New England.

Jackson accounted for five touchdowns, four passing, and one rushing, as he looks to be an early season MVP candidate. 

In the last six games, Harris has rushed for 100 yards or more in three of them, including 121 yards on 22 carries Sunday night.

Bill Belichick’s mother passes away of natural causes at age 98.

Look for the Patriots to mix things up a lot this week, perhaps playing more zone given that Jackson has the propensity to turn and run.

The Patriots improved to 8-0 on Sunday with their win over the Browns and here are some thoughts on the victory.

The rivalry with a national stage on Monday Night Football, this one will have an intensity that will be a possible preview in the postseason.

When under no pressure, Flacco’s completed 70 percent of his passes this season with 14 touchdowns and six interceptions for a passer rating of 94.7.

Congratulations to the New York Jets. Gang Green has accomplished what many thought was impossible: Team Bowles is an underdog to the San Francisco 49ers.

One of the biggest moments of the 2014/15 AFC Divisional round was the fact the Patriots understood a rule John Harbaugh didn’t and he’s still angry over it.

Another week and another marquee NFL player is sidelined with a serious injury. Ben Roethlisberger was off to a fantastic start of the 2015 NFL season but will reportedly be out 4-6 weeks after suffering a medial collateral ligament sprain and bone bruise from a low hit in the pocket by St. Louis safety Mark Barron in the third quarter of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 12-6 victory over the Rams on Sunday. Big Ben had completed over 75% of his passes this season and was leading the league with 10.2 pass attempts; in the first two games of the year Roethlisberger threw for a whopping 720 yards, and was picking the St. Louis defense apart, completing 20 of 24 passes before the unfortunate hit.

Speaking with Mark Bertrand and the 985 The Sports Hub pregame show before Sundays matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Patriots team President Jonathan Kraft offered up a little sarcastic sympathy for the struggling and now 0-3 Baltimore Ravens.
