“Outcoached.” “Outplayed.” “A total butt whooping.” Yup Rex, that about sums it up. How fun was Monday night’s 45-3 blowout win over the hated Jets?

Best record in the NFL? Up against Cleveland, an entire city which hasn’t won anything since ever? No problem, right? Apparently not. With a performance like that, the New England fan base had better hope that the Patriots took Cleveland for granted, because if not, it’ll be a long eight weeks. In Cleveland on Sunday, [...]

The New England Patriots had already run the ball eight straight times. So they decided to run it again.

Patriots 2010 Preview: Quarterbacks

By ⋅ August 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Tom Brady, having just turned 33 on Tuesday, remains the face of the Patriots and likely the most important player on the team.
