#Patriots CB Carlton Davis is expecting big things from Sunday's crowd. "It's gonna be crazy. I think it will be a legendary vibe in there, just having that playoff feel back in the stadium again."

#Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte, OLB Harold Landry and OT Thayer Munford will be questionable for Sunday night, per Mike Vrabel. DT Khyiris Tonga (foot) will be out. RB TreVeyon Henderson (personal) didn't practice today.

it was only 3 years ago Joe Judge QB coach was yelling to assert his dominance in team meetings, and other assistants were correcting his coaching points behind his back in practice. ole miss wyd lol www.bostonherald.com/2023/01/26/i...

Several #Patriots — including LB Robert Spillane, OT Morgan Moses and TE Hunter Henry — increased their participation in practice today. One development to monitor: Kayshon Boutte was limited by a new hamstring injury.

They want to be the biggest, baddest team. We want to be the biggest, baddest team.” If the #Patriots are right about who they are, about the tough, physical, rugged team they've become under Mike Vrabel, they will beat the Chargers on Sunday. Column: www.bostonherald.com/2026/01/08/c...

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

truly the lowest and most despicable cowards this country has ever produced

#Patriots LB Robert Spillane on the Chargers: “They want to be the biggest, baddest team. We want to be the biggest, baddest team.”

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

Mike Vrabel: RT Morgan Moses is sick today and won't take physical reps at practice. The #Patriots have a few ill players, including Garrett Bradbury, OT Vederian Lowe and OLB Anfernee Jennings, per Vrabel.

Mike Vrabel’s opening playoff press conference coming up shortly.

The #Patriots finish the regular season with the NFL's best offense by EPA/play. They ranked 27th last year.

The #Patriots have been reborn. They have a coach who rebuilt the culture. They have a QB who could be the MVP. Inside and outside of their walls, they restored belief. So no matter what happens next, remember: this season is already a rousing success. Column: www.bostonherald.com/2026/01/04/c...

Bring on the Chargers.

Stefon Diggs clinches a 1,000-yard season, the first for a #Patriots WR since 2019.

153 total yards. 3 TDs. Rhamondre Stevenson is balling.

The official term is a piggyback sack for Marcus Jones.

K'Lavon Chaisson is back on the field.

Killer drive for Rhamondre Stevenson between the 20-yard run on 3rd-and-1, and double-move on his TD catch. He's really found his form since returning from turf toe a few weeks back. And he hasn't fumbled in 3 months.

K'Lavon Chaisson walked off the field without help and is now entering the injury tent. He was down for almost a minute.

The #Patriots have 0:28 left in the half to interrupt a potential double-score for Miami.

That is Christian Barmore's second sack of the season. #Patriots defense woke up.

It has been a bad last month or so for the #Patriots special teams.

Nearing halftime: 🏈Patriots 14-7 🏈Bills 21-0 🏈Broncos 10-0 It will be Pats-Chargers next weekend in the Wild Card round if these leads hold.

Elijah Ponder's 1-handed grab of that fumble has the Red Sox thinking they may not need Alex Bregman after all.

The #Patriots defense and run game don't succeed often enough down-to-down, so they must win on big plays (turnovers and explosives) and in high-leverage situations (short-yardage and the red zone) in the playoffs. Two examples today on D: stops on 4th-and-goal and 3rd-and-1.

The #Patriots front seven to start this series: Eric Gregory, Cory Durden, Leonard Taylor III, Anfernee Jennings, Jahlani Tavai, Christian Eliss, Jack Gibbens.

Miami motioned into one of its best run looks, and that had Craig Woodson and Christian Gonzalez with their eyes in the backfield from the start on the TD. Couldn't even tell you who busted that coverage because had the FB not motioned, the Pats has 2 over 3 to that side. Just bad defense.

#Patriots 1st-quarter offense: 🏈92% success rate 🏈33% explosive play rate 🏈1 EPA/play 🏈108 rushing yards 🏈14 points

Josh McDaniels is already bored lol.

MVP chants break out after that Maye scramble for a 1st down.

The #Patriots catch a break there with Miami throwing on 4th-and-1. They've allowed conversions on 89% of short-yardage runs entering today (defined as 3rd or 4th-down runs with 2 yards or fewer to go, plus runs on 1st- and 2nd-and-goal with the same yardage).

#Patriots get no pressure on 3rd-and-6 and give up a 20-yard completion in disguised Tampa 2.

#Patriots defense opens in 3-4 base personnel: DL Williams, Barmore, Durden LB Elliss, Gibbens, Tavai, Jennings CB Gonzalez, Hawkins, Woodson, Davis

Too easy.

That was Rhamondre Stevenson's longest run of the season (55 yards in Week 2 at Miami), and longest since the 2023 season.

#Patriots offense opens in jumbo 12 personnel: RB Stevenson WR Diggs, Chism TE Henry, *Munford

Dolphins win the toss, defer. #Patriots will receive. Here we go.

Will the #Patriots pay attention to other scores today during the game? Mike Vrabel on 98.5 The Sports Hub: ""Eh. Again, we're talking about a football team that won 8 games in 2 years. We're trying to create a culture of winning here."

Gameday.

A belated happy New Year! 20 #Patriots predictions for 2026, from a trade (!) to free agency, the coaching staff, 2026 schedule and will the Pats make the Super Bowl?! Enjoy: www.bostonherald.com/2026/01/04/c...
