Going through 2024 Patriots snap counts (for a story, not for fun) ....... and I had totally forgotten that Demontrey Jacobs played the second-most snaps of any player on offense. And Vederian Lowe 4th-most. And Michael Jordan 6th-most. What a year that was.

He's backkkkk 👀 The GOAT @TomBrady returns to New England for the first time as a broadcaster in Week 9 when the @packers take on the @Patriots on FOX 👏📺

Romeo Doubs on AJ Brown: “I have a ton of respect for him. … If he’s here, I would love to have him here.”

The Patriots’ 2026 schedule isn’t going to be as easy as last year. But based on projected win totals, it’s still on the easier side compared to the rest of the league. (via @TheAthleticNFL newsletter)

Couple tips for your chipping @DrakeMaye2! First on why you struggle here: You want to hit a slightly higher shot here but the clubface is too square at set up meaning you have to help it get up. Club gets too inside in ur swing and you try to get the club underneath the ball by dipping body lower. Notice where ur chin is at compared to the green between set up and impact. It’s gone down a bit. (1st pic vs 3rd pic) What to do: Open the face a bit at address. Take it outside and steep feeling. Stay tall and let the club and arms widen and extend to the ball. (This is for a medium to higher traj shot from the rough) Hope you focus on ur chipping a ton and not worry about football much next season. Go Bolts
