Hogan, who signed with the Patriots this past offseason, insisted he doesn’t have his first game back in Orchard Park circled on his calendar. “Nope, I’m going about this just like every other week,” Hogan said Wednesday. “It’s an away game. It’s a (divisional) game for us. It’s going to be a big game.

Terry Francona Still Hasn’t Lost A World Series Game; Indians Crush Cubs
Share this: Corey Kluber was stellar, Andrew Miller dazzled again, Roberto Perez brought the big bat and the Cleveland Indians lead the World Series after a 6-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Kluber, Cleveland’s ace, pitched six strong innings, scattering four hits and striking out nine batters. In the second inning, Kluber became the first Indians pitcher ever to strike out the side in a World Series game. Andrew Miller took over for Kluber from there, and though he got himself into a jam in the seventh and eighth innings — including a bases loaded, no-out jam in the seventh — he escaped unharmed and preserved what at the time was a 3-0 lead. The Indians got on the scoreboard pretty quickly in the first

For the offense, fumbles are a primary point of emphasis. The Patriots lost two in Sunday’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and have put the ball on the ground 14 times this season, tying their total from the entire 2015 campaign. “There’s no question that our players and our coaches are emphasizing that,” Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Tuesday in a conference call with reporters. “We know there is no greater determinant of success than taking care of the football on offense, that’s for sure. Everybody would agree with that.
