It's AFC Championship week, and the Patriots are heading to Denver looking to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LX. They're not going to lose to a team quarterbacked by Jarrett Stidham ... are they?
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the game in detail, from their expectations for Stidham, to how Drake Maye and the offense can operate against a sack-happy defense, to Will Campbell's need for a bounceback game, to inj...
The New England Patriots are one win away from making the Super Bowl, after a 28-16 win over the Houston Texans in the divisional round. Drake Maye had a rough game with four fumbles, but he also delivered some elite passes, while the Patriots' defense neutralized C.J. Stroud, Woody Marks and the entire Texans offense.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down all the highs and lows from this Patriots win, while looking ahead a bi...
It's divisional weekend, and the Patriots are hosting the Texans with a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line. While the Texans' defense is rightfully getting a ton of attention this week, it's a major question whether C.J. Stroud's five-fumble performance in Pittsburgh will carry over into Foxboro.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the upcoming game, from Christian Gonzalez's expected return, to Ni...
The Patriots beat the Chargers in the wild card round of the postseason, and it was the defense that led the way. Milton Williams and Christian Gonzalez played like All-Pros as the defense pummeled Justin Herbert all night en route to a 16-3 home victory.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down all of that defensive play while also assessing Drake Maye's ups and downs and all the other highlights (and lowlights) from the win.
IT'S PLAYOFF WEEK IN NEW ENGLAND. Instead of dealing with coach firings and GM interviews, New England is preparing for playoff football at Gillette Stadium, with the Patriots hosting the Chargers in the wild card round.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down how the Patriots can secure a victory and move on to the divisional round while also touching on the importance of Drake Maye to get his first playoff win (while keeping J...
The Patriots put the bow on a 14-3 season with a 38-10 blowout win over the Dolphins. Drake Maye was very good once again, but did he lose the MVP race to Matthew Statfford. More importantly ... why does that matter so much to so many people?
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley look ahead to the wild card round matchup with the Chargers next Sunday and also run through the Booms and Dooms from Sunday's game, lay out fair postseason exp...
As the Patriots prepare to face the Dolphins in Week 18, Stefon Diggs and Christian Barmore are facing allegations of assault. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley discuss those situations and what the next steps are for both players and the team.
There are also some observations that the MVP debate between Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford has gotten very, very strange in the national media. Why are people working so hard to diminish Drake M...
Drake Maye had the best game of any quarterback this year, the Patriots steamrolled the Jets, and New England took back the crown in the AFC East. It was a nice little Sunday for the team.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the 42-10 win over the Jets (as much as it could be broken down). It was Booms galore, as Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs powered the offense and Efton Chism caught his first career touchdown.
It's also time ...
The New England Patriots improved to 12-3 and clinched a playoff berth after a tremendous fourth quarter comeback in Baltimore. Drake Maye shook off a shaky three quarters to shine in the fourth, and Stefon Diggs turned in one of his best performances as a Patriot.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley recap the 28-24 victory, which included arguably the worst missed pass interference call of the 2020s as well as the worst fake punt since th...
Was the Patriots' second-half collapse vs. the Bills a fluke, or was it indicative of some real problems that could cause some issues heading into the playoffs?
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley assess those matters, such as the ongoing flops in the second half for the offense, the curious usage of Stefon Diggs, the highs and lows of Josh McDaniels, and the fluctuating MVP case for Drake Maye. Plus, a look into where the Ravens could...
No Sugarcoating A Bad Day For Drake Maye, But Silver Linings Can Be Found In Patriots' Loss To Bills
For the first time in nearly three months, the New England Patriots have lost a football game. This one was wild, with the Patriots looking dominant in the first half, only to collapse in the second half and lose 35-31 to the Buffalo Bills.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down a bad day for Drake Maye and his MVP candidacy, some questionable decisions on player usage on both sides of the ball, and the BOOMS and DOOMS from a tough...
After a bye week break, Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are BACK, just in time for the biggest Patriots game of the season. The Bills visit Foxboro on Sunday with Josh Allen riding high off a big win last weekend. Can the Patriots slow him and James Cook down on the ground? That may be the biggest key to the game.
Doug has some praise for the Patriots' receiving corps, Mike offers some caution on this "wide-open" AFC alte...
The Patriots have won another football game, reclaiming the AFC's top seed with an 11-2 record. This time, it was a 33-15 win over the New York Giants. Thanks to an explosive first quarter, this one was never in doubt, but the game still had its ups (Drake Maye, Marcus Jones, backups stepping up) and downs (sleepy defensive plays, red zone offense, a shanked punt).
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break it all down while marveling a...
Happy Thanksgiving! Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are popping in early to preview the Monday Night Football matchup between the Patriots and Giants. New York pass rusher Brian Burns had some INTERESTING comments about Drake Maye ahead of the game. Plus, a detailed look at how the Patriots can manage the injuries to Will Campbell, Jared Wilson and Milton Williams -- among others -- while trying to earn the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
It wo...
OK, bad wins don't exist in the NFL. But ... losing Will Campbell (along with Jared Wilson, Khyiris Tonga and Brenden Schooler) while struggling mightily in the run game against a historically bad defense? Not great.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are here to analyze all angles from the Patriots' 26-20 win over a bad Bengals team that was playing without its two best players. The Booms and Dooms generate some spirited debate, ...
After a mini bye weekend, the Pats Chat podcast is back as the Patriots prepare to face the Bengals, who have the worst defense in the NFL (and arguably of all time). Sunday should be a big, big day for Drake Maye and the New England offense.
Defensively, losing Milton Williams for at least four games is a huge hit for Mike Vrabel's defense to take. Even though they're deep at defensive tackle, subtracting a dominant player ...
The Patriots have done it again, folks. They've won another football game.
A 27-14 win over the Jets was definitely imperfect, but on a Thursday night, sometimes you've gotta win a little ugly. And now the Patriots are 9-2, winners of eight straight and owners of the BEST RECORD IN THE NFL.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the Booms and Dooms, discuss some potential issues on New England's defense, marvel at how we...
Doug Kyed from the Boston Herald and Michael Hurley from NBC Sports Boston preview the Jets-Patriots Thursday night matchup.
The Patriots are saying and doing all the right things, but are the vibes too high? Is this a let-down game for the Patriots?

The New England Patriots improved to 8-2 with a win over the Buccaneers in Tampa. This was a big one.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the highs and the lows from the 28-23 win, during which Drake Maye made a bad mistake but also made some massive plays. Rookies Kyle Williams and TreVeyon Henderson broke out in big ways, and Mike Vrabel's defense continued to execute in late-game situations.
The trade deadline came and went without the Patriots making any additions. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley react to that inactivity and debate whether the 7-2 team atop the AFC should have been more aggressive.
Then it's time to preview the Pats-Bucs game, where BOTH hosts MIGHT be picking Tampa to win? Regardless, Sunday represents a big opportunity for Drake Maye and the rest of the Patriots to make a profound statement.
