Got together with the other NFL beat writers at @theathletic.com for a mock draft. Here’s how it turned out: www.nytimes.com/athletic/721...

A little more than four hours until we know who the Patriots are hosting here in the playoffs.

Tom Brady threw 5+ touchdowns six times in his Patriots career (including twice throwing 6 in one game). Drake Maye has thrown 5 TDs today, and it's still the third quarter.

Biggest game here since Tom Brady left.

Interesting tidbit from @diannarussini.bsky.social’s What I’m Hearing column … and maybe something to remember for a potential playoff game. www.nytimes.com/athletic/682...

The Patriots have nearly a 90 percent chance of winning the AFC East, per @theathletic.com’s playoff predictor. www.nytimes.com/athletic/nfl...

Beautiful November day for football as the Patriots look for a sixth straight win.

In a stretch of crazy games from Drake Maye, today's stood out as the best of the bunch as his MVP season rolls on. Story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

Chad Graff @chadgraff.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Beautiful day for football. Will be very interested to see how the Patriots’ O-line holds up today. They’ve been much better than expected so far this season. But this task against the Browns is their toughest yet.

Mike Vrabel has turned the Patriots into legit contenders. Story on the crazy turnaround that has the Patriots 5-2: www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...

Chad Graff @chadgraff.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

Mike Vrabel inherited a Patriots franchise that was 8-34 in the last two years. Now, after beating his former team, Vrabel jogs off the field as the Patriots are 5-2 in what was supposed to be Year 1 of this rebuild.

Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez was limited at practice due to a hamstring injury. That’s obviously concerning for a couple reasons. 1. Gonzalez didn’t have an injury designation yesterday. 2. A hamstring injury recently sidelined him 6 weeks.

Chad Graff @chadgraff.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

The Patriots haven't scored 40+ since the 2021 season. They're at 35 points with 10 minutes left in the *third* quarter.

Here's a look at the players with the most punt return yards in a game since 2000. Marcus Jones already has 148 at halftime. (But who knows if the Panthers will punt to him again.)

Chad Graff @chadgraff.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

The Patriots haven't had a game like this where they were just clearly the better team in quite some time. Here are the six games they've won by 14+ since the start of the 2022 season.

Chad Graff @chadgraff.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

It’s weird to say about a Week 4 game against the Panthers … but this feels like a big one for the Patriots. Have to avoid a 1-3 start before heading to Buffalo for a primetime matchup. A reasonable goal for September was always 2-2.

The Patriots fumbled away a chance at an impressive win and a record above .500 in a frustrating loss to the Steelers. Story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

A lengthy Patriots injury report with nine players limited. But the big news: Christian Gonzalez (hamstring) participated in practice for the first time in 51 days.

Chad Graff @chadgraff.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

Mike Vrabel made it sound like Christian Gonzalez won’t practice today. Vrabel didn’t rule him out for Sunday but hard to envision him playing since he hasn’t practiced since July 28.

Dan Quinn in Foxboro for joint practice with the Patriots: “Pumped to be here.”

Why does Kyle Williams make tons of sense for the Patriots? Last year, only the Browns had fewer explosive passing plays.

Caught up with Robert Kraft in New Orleans. Here's what he said on the Patriots hiring Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator.

The Patriots announced their full coaching staff. There are 22 assistants on Mike Vrabel’s staff, notably bigger than the ones Belichick preferred.

The Patriots are getting ready to welcome their new head coach.

Patriots OC Alex Van Pelt said QB Drake Maye will start Sunday even with a loss securing the No. 1 pick. AVP added: “We’re playing the game to win the game.”

Chad Graff @chadgraff.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

A dreary day in Foxboro but an important one even for a 3-win team A good performance builds momentum for Mayo and Co. But if the Patriots get smoked, there’ll be all sorts of questions about the future.

Chad Graff @chadgraff.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Drake Maye on Bill Belichick potentially heading to UNC: “Obviously a legendary coach with the success he had here — and what a great place Chapel Hill is. … I think coach Belichick would love it.”

The Patriots announced they're beginning construction on a new facility next to Gillette Stadium. It will include a nutrition center, training room, cold plunge, hot tubs, virtual reality rooms. The goal is to open the new facility in spring 2026.

Chad Graff @chadgraff.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

I get that these are two bad teams … but … kinda a sneaky important game. A win and the Pats match Belichick’s win total with a similar roster and bounce back from last week’s mess. A loss and they’ve spoiled their best remaining shot at a win and a 3-win season is in play.

Jerod Mayo said he doesn’t plan to take over defensive play calling. Mayo: “DeMarcus (Covington) is doing a good job calling plays.”

Jerod Mayo: “We came out flat. … No excuses from me and hopefully no excuses from the players.”
