Mike Vrabel has a simple plan in mind when it comes to fixing the Patriots' ball security issues? "Practice the crap out of it."

Together with @tkyles39.bsky.social: Position grades from the Patriots’ loss to the Steelers include a couple of As, but turnovers overshadow it all.

The Patriots are backing Rhamondre Stevenson after his two-fumble performance versus Pittsburgh.

Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams will miss his second straight game on Sunday.

Miguel keeps fighting the good fight. If you can, please support his cause.

Patriots vs. Steelers Friday injury report: Christian Gonzalez among three questionable for Mike Vrabel's side

Efton Chism might be the most 1920s-looking dude in the NFL right now.

LONG SHOT: Can you tell me anything about the Boston College football tailgating scene LONGER SHOT: Can you tell me anything about tailgating for the away teams LONGEST SHOT: Are you tailgating the Cal game on 9/27, and would accept a few mostly well-behaved Cal dads who will pay and/or bring beer

Keion White returned to Patriots practice today as a full participant.

Doesn't Know Ball State University

Despite a recent dip in playing time, Drake Maye sees no reason to worry about Patriots teammate DeMario Douglas.

Milton Williams is a game-wrecker, and more takeaways from a look at the Patriots' stats two weeks into the season.

Perhaps, but leaving a spot open doesn’t make much of a difference either. You can only activate so many players for game day, and New England also has an extra player on the practice squad via the Pathway Program.

Maye’s Plays: The Patriots QB accomplishes his goals in the best game of his career.

Patriots snap count analysis: Josh McDaniels leans on his tight ends; DeMario Douglas moving in the wrong direction?; A potential candidate for the 53rd roster spot; And more.

Tackling will be a point of emphasis for the Patriots defense this week.

Together with @tkyles39.bsky.social: Position grades from the Patriots' win over the Dolphins, including good marks for the quarterback and defensive line.

Pretty important updates for the Patriots Week Four opponent.

“He probably would have loved this game.” Rhamondre Stevenson had his late father on his mind after a standout outing against the Dolphins on Sunday.

The Falcons are the NFL equivalent to the Stanford Prison Experiment.

On the rarity of the back-to-back returns for touchdowns, via the NFL.

"You’ve got to have a lot of confidence in him and I do have a lot of confidence. It didn’t waver." The Patriots showed faith in rookie kicker Andy Borregales late in the game, and he delivered.

Diggs on if he saw Mike Vrabe's sideline sprint. "Yeah, I actually just saw it on video. I was like, 'He's slow as hell.'"

"They may take our 7 hours of commercial-free football, but they'll never take our wins becoming losses and losses becoming wins."

$104 million man Milton Williams calls game for the Patriots.

The Andy Borregales experience is a wild one. He missed two extra points, but just nailed a 53-yard field goal to put the Patriots up 33-27.

This game has completely gone off the rails. Dolphins punt return touchdown answered by Antonio Gibson kickoff return touchdown.

The Patriots' veterans let them down on this drive. Morgan Moses flagged for a false start. Hunter Henry flagged for an illegal shift. Garrett Bradbury with a bad snap. Need better.

Drake Maye showing his potential on this touchdown drive. A massive third-down conversion after evading pressure and hitting Rhamondre Stevenson for a gain of 55 yards followed by a 6-yard touchdown run on a quarterback keeper. Statement drive from the Patriots' young QB.

Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson has been flagged three times today for holding.

My son when the Muppets are not on 🤝 Me when the Patriots are on

One positive and one negative from the first half of Patriots-Dolphins: 👍 Drake Maye looks a lot more comfortable running the offense. He is 12-of-14 for 129 yards with 2 TDs. 👎 X-plays and tackling continue to be a concern on defense, and allowed Miami to get back in the game quickly.

Wrote about the NFL holding at least one moment of silence for Charlie Kirk, and why the decision to honor him in that fashion is bizarre.

Breaking down the Patriots' game day roster: All hands on deck along the O-line against Miami.

Patriots vs. Dolphins inactives: Training camp standout Efton Chism remains an afterthought.

Sunday Patriots Notes: Drake Maye needs to relax, and we do too; Same play, two different outcomes for Ja'Lynn Polk and Kayshon Boutte; Christian Barmore's impact beyond the stats; A bizarre decision by the NFL; And more.

Just 17 months after making him a second-round draft pick, the Patriots have traded Ja'Lynn Polk to the Saints. What went wrong? And what does the move mean for the team? Let's assess.

With UNC beating Richmond 41-6 earlier today to improve to 2-1 on the season, Bill Belichick now... ...has his first winning record since Dec. 2022 (Patriots improve to 7-6 after beating ARI). ...has won back-to-back games for the first time since Nov. 2022 (3 straight vs. NYJ, IND, NYJ).

The Ja'Lynn Polk trade is official, via the NFL transactions wire.

Of the 55 players on the Patriots Week 1 active roster only 40% (22) remain on their active roster. Three are on Injured Reserve. Twenty-one are on another team. Nine are out of the NFL.

Polk's trajectory after not getting his second foot down on a pivotal play stands in contrast to another Patriots WR, Kayshon Boutte. Boutte had two potential catches wiped out in his 2023 debut vs. the Eagles. He recovered from those miscues, though, and is now a key member of the team's offense.

The Patriots are trading second-year receiver Ja'Lynn Polk to the Saints, as first reported by @diannarussini.bsky.social.

What it felt like watching that one play in Las Vegas in 2022.

"A lot of maturity, a lot of growth, but also a lot of knowledge." With Terrell Williams out, the Patriots will turn to Zak Kuhr as defensive play caller against the Dolphins.

The NFL just released a breakdown of Week 1 rosters and here are some Patriots-related takeaways: Fourth-youngest roster (26.0) Tops in the NFL in players of 300+ lbs (14) AFC leaders in rookies (13) Last in the AFC in average experience (3.83)

The Patriots announced a change to their practice squad: Jack Conley was signed, Mehki Butler released. One rookie offensive lineman replacing another.

An annual tradition. "Bill Moro remembers 9/11 fondly." www.welcometohellworld.com/the-man-who-...

That missile bounced off the orb like a cornerback trying to tackle Derrick Henry in space.

This sounds wacky but it is backed up by science.
