Week 11 featured one of the best 1 pm slates of the year, and specifically one of the best "Witching Hours" to boot, with multiple games coming down to the wire from coast to coast. Sunday Night and Monday Night Football...not as good, but an overall good weekend of NFL action. Here are my standout performers as we get closer to Thanksgiving. Gaffney's 2025 NFL Week 11 Team of the Week (First-Team) Offense: Bryce Young (QB, CAR), Ezra Cleveland (OL, JAX), Sean Tucker (RB, TB)

The Patriots haven't been super gung-ho with the PA game outside of the Buffalo and Pittsburgh game, but I think there could be some massive opportunities for Drake Maye on that front with the missing pieces on the other side of the ball.

There hadn't been an "ugly win" to this point in the season for the New England Patriots, but that's probably the best way to describe their one-point victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

A week after the Patriots trounced the top-flight defense of the Cleveland Browns, they now welcome the final remaining top 10 defense on their schedule tomorrow in the form of the Atlanta Falcons.

More or less, yesterday's Patriots win over the Tennessee Titans went just about according to plan. They settled in after a trio of scoring drives by Cam Ward and co., and cruised on with a 31 point afternoon and now find themselves on their first four game win streak in nearly four years, and as the two seed in the AFC behind Indianapolis. Not only did Drake Maye dazzle once again, but the running game, yes, the running game, was gigantic in this win, with Rhamondre Stevenso

Off the most significant win this team has achived this decade, the New England Patriots find themselves set to embark on what, at a visual glance, appears to be a relatively easy stretch of games. Between this weekend and their Week 14 Bye, the combined record of their opponents is 13-27, featuring five times currently dead last in their divisions, and the only division leader they're scheduled to play over this period is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10.

One play will never win or lose you a game in pro sports, but one can always be the start of something big, and in football, that can especially apply on the special teams front.

Over the last seven or eight years, Week 1 has been a mixed bag for the Patriots, but no matter who has headed the sidelines, been the top dog under center, or played on defense, home openers have been a major struggle for this team during the same timeframe. Going into Mike Vrabel's first-ever regular season game coaching the team he played eight seasons for, New England has dropped their last four home openers, as well as five of their previous eight.

Dating back to the tail end of 1989, New England has lost a staggering 24 out of 35 matchups and is 2-8 in South Beach in their last 10.

Jerod Mayo was absolutely correct when he said this group is one of the best DL's the Patriots will face this year.

So my No. 1 question for Jerod Mayo would be this: What does "Patriot Football" mean in 2024?

If anyone is running this ship outside of Eliot Wolf moving forward, that would be a massive indictment on the Krafts.

It feels like baring something drastic, Bill Belichick is coaching his final game in New England, the front office could be seeing a shakeup

Despite limping into their bye on a 3-5 stretch, the Buffalo Bills, despite all they've gone through this year, still maintain a chance at..

Dating back to the formation of the franchise, the Patriots have a staggering 21 losses in Denver...

Not only was big No. 90 the Patriots' best player on Sunday, but the gap between him and everyone else was notable.

Finding new and inventive ways to lose every year, the current iteration of the Bolts has ridden losing streaks of at least two games...

Italian-American Icon Tommy DeVito and the Giants only needed one touchdown to take home a victory.

As expected, one of the few guarantees in life came to pass, a Patriots loss on the outskirts of Miami, Florida to the Dolphins.

Patriots DL Christian Barmore is poised for a breakout in 2022, and here is why.
