With just days left in his presidency, Donald Trump will award New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick the Medal of Freedom later this week, according to a White House official. The award, established by President John F. Kennedy in 1963, is America’s highest civilian honor. It is awarded to people “who have made exceptional contributions to the security or…

So you’re saying there’s a path… At 4-5 following a 23-17 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football at a rain-soaked Gillette Stadium, the Patriots remain on the outside looking in of the AFC playoff picture. But their potential path to the postseason doesn’t seem nearly as far fetched now as it did earlier this week, especially...

For a minute, it looked like the same old Bills and the same old Patriots. Buffalo on the verge of blowing a winnable game against a New England team that even if it hadn’t played its best, was about to walk out of Bills Stadium victorious for the umpteenth time under Bill Belichick. And then, a role reversal. Trailing...

So, this is how the other half lives? The Patriots are quickly finding out the hard way of what life can be like without a bona fide franchise quarterback, or at least one who’s playing at less than 100% health and with an underwhelming group of skill position players. Cam Newton threw three interceptions and was benched in the fourth…

The New England Patriots were forced to prepare for two opponents this week — the Denver Broncos, and COVID-19. A handful of positive tests — including quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore — led to the closure of the Patriots’ facilities for three days and the postponement of Sunday’s scheduled home game against Denver to Monday night. New England…

Life without the greatest quarterback who ever lived is just fine in New England. With the caveat that it is just one game, of course, Tom Brady’s replacement, Cam Newton, had about as sharp a debut as anyone could have hoped for. The 2015 NFL MVP rushed for 75 yards on 15 carries and scored a pair of touchdowns for…

Three years ago, declaring the Patriots as Super Bowl favorites didn’t suffice. Coming off of their thrilling Super Bowl LI victory over Atlanta, they went out and loaded up in the off-season to the point that wondering aloud whether the team could go 19-0 was in the cards. Sure, they wound up falling flat on their faces in the...

Wondering what Santa would look like if he were 6’6″ and wore a sleeveless coat to show off his biceps? Gronk’s got you covered. Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski posted a special holiday video on his social media platforms on Sunday, “How the Grinch Won 6 Rings,” in which he reads a football-themed version of Dr. Seuss’s…

Thousands of Legos made a mind-boggling portrait of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

Super Bowl LII it wasn’t. And that’s a good thing for the Patriots, who avenged their humiliating loss to the Eagles following the 2017 season with a slogging 17-10 win on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

Antonio Brown was released from the New England Patriots Friday, the team said in a statement. The wide receiver had played just one game for the team. “Thank you for the opportunity @Patriots #GoWinIt,” Brown tweeted.

New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown made a big splash in his debut for the team, catching a 20-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady late in the first half at Miami.

President Donald Trump said he’s “surprised” to see New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with soliciting prostitution in Florida. Trump also emphasized that Kraft denied the allegations when asked about the charges Kraft faces in the Oval Office Friday afternoon. “Well it’s very sad,” he said. “I was very surprised to see it. He’s proclaimed his innocence totally, but...

An estimated 1.5 million fans jammed downtown Boston on Tuesday for a parade celebrating the New England Patriots’ sixth Super Bowl title, clamoring for more with cheers of “We want seven!” and “Next year, right here!” A party atmosphere enveloped the city as fans clad in team garb packed sidewalks and stood on tiptoe for a glimpse of quarterback Tom...

The New England Patriots closed the door on the Los Angeles Rams with a late fourth quarter interception, leading to a 13-3 victory that gave the team its record-tying sixth Super Bowl.

The New England Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl Sunday in a mostly drab, defensive game that they ran away with late, beating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3. In a game that featured a highly anticipated quarterback matchup between the already legendary Tom Brady and up-and-comer Jared Goff, it was the running game that settled it. The Patriots’ Sony Michel...

It’s never been so clear: This year’s Super Bowl matchup between the Patriots and Rams is a showdown between the NFL’s past and its future.
