NFL:

The Patriots will be looking to go 8-0 on the season and they meet the Redskins on Sunday. Tom Brady is having an MVP type 2015 with 20 TDs and 1 INT

With no trades at the deadline, there was disappointment in Patriots Nation. But the team is getting a boost with players returning from PUP/IR

The Redskins, despite a 3-4 record are still very much alive in the divisional race of the NFC East. They currently are only a half-game behind the Giants

How about the job that Dave DeGuglielmo is doing with the Patriots offensive line? With a ton of injuries, the unit has performed excellently in 2015

The NFL has said in the past it doesn’t review accusations by other teams it doesn’t deem reasonable, but last Sunday they apparently felt strongly enough to come into Gillette Stadium and perform a search before the contest, while also interrogating team employees.

Mike Reiss the Patriots most respected beat writer has teamed with NE legend Troy Brown to write the most definitive, can’t-put-down work on Brown’s career

Miami thought they were catching New England at a good time with a short week and the Patriots decimated by injuries. But the Pats routed Miami 36-7

Here are some fun facts before the Patriots take on the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football, including a Tom Brady, Joe Montana comparison.

The Dolphins have romped their last two opponents and come into Foxboro sky high. The Patriots are 6-0 and Tom Brady has been outstanding thus far in 2015

Goodell has been exposed as a liar during the time leading up to his decision to suspend Brady, and during the sham of an appeals process. It is ironic that here today he is finally being truthful. This whole sad, sordid affair has nothing to do integrity, or some far-fetched scheme to deflate footballs 0.2 psi. It’s all about power and control.

The Dolphins have re-energized and rejuvenated themselves under interim coach Dan Campbell who has brought a measure of grit and toughness to the team

The Patriots defense limited the Jets ground game to just 89 yds & 3.0 YPC on the day. New York entered the game averaging 146 yards per game on the ground

Tom Brady had another vintage performance in the fourth quarter as the Patriots overcame a 20-16 over the Jets to win a tough game 30-23.

Week 7 brings NFL fans one great game – the Jets at Patriots pits the league’s best defense versus the NFL’s best offense – and besides that a whole lot of mediocrity. Unfortunately for football fans this early game is the one and only matchup between two teams with winning records. Some of that can be attributed to three unbeaten teams – Cincinnati, Denver and Green Bay – all having a bye this week. Beyond that though, the NFL’s never-ending quest for parity has exposed an ugly under belly as a side effect. Only nine of the 32 NFL teams have winning records and two entire divisions do not have a single winning team.

The Patriots depth especially at the offensive line will be tested this week as the Pats play the Jets today and turn right around and face Miami Thursday
