FOXBORO, Mass. — Patriots rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez took home his first NFL award this week. Matthew Judon is confident it won’t be his last. After being recognized Thursday as the league’s Defensive Rookie of the Month for September, Gonzalez received a rave review from Judon. New England’s Pro Bowl edge rusher said watching Gonzalez […]
There’s no more getting around the fact that New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has a bad reputation around the NFL. Jones has found himself labeled as “dirty” on multiple occasions throughout his short NFL career and had that title returned to him Sunday night after the Patriots’ victory over the Jets. New York cornerback […]
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones’ pockets won’t take a hit this weekend. Jones, who was under review for disciplinary action due to his incident with New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner in Week 3, was not fined by the NFL, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media. The aforementioned incident occurred in the fourth […]
FOXBORO, Mass. — Three weeks into the season, the New England Patriots have been the NFL’s worst team at creating big plays. Mac Jones is searching around the league for ways to fix that.

Mac Jones didn’t do himself any favors against the “dirty player” allegations this past Sunday in the Meadowlands. Following the Patriots’ road win over the Jets, Sauce Gardner claimed he received a low blow from Jones in the fourth quarter.

The NFL could punish Mac Jones for his alleged cheap shot to the groin of New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner. But it won’t come in the form of a suspension.

Gardner, the New York Jets’ star cornerback, claimed Jones […]
There’s been a common late-game theme in Patriots games ever since Tom Brady departed Foxboro, Mass. More often than not, New England has played from behind or battled in tightly contested contests since Mac Jones took over behind center. And far too often in those games, the Patriots came so close to pulling out a […]
The 2022 New England Patriots boasted the worst red-zone offense in the NFL. They scored touchdowns on just 42.2% of their trips inside the 20-yard line — dead last in the league. It was one of many, many issues that plagued Matt Patricia’s bunch last season. This year, they’ve been substantially better in that area. […]
The post-QB-sneak scuffle between the Patriots and Jets last weekend became known for Mac Jones’ alleged cup-check of New York cornerback Sauce Gardner. However, you could argue the more interesting incident — or lack thereof — occurred seconds prior. Jones was body-slammed to the ground by linebacker C.J. Mosley after trying to fight for yards […]
A lot has changed for Mac Jones and the Patriots since the day he arrived in New England. They’re on their third offensive coordinator. Some of the pass-catchers and O-linemen are different. The defense arguably is better now than it was then. Even Gillette Stadium underwent a big makeover. And yet, through three games, it’s […]
