Share this: Patriots fans celebrated the thought of Marshawn Lynch manning the backfield of their favorite team Monday when the Boston Herald’s Jeff Howe reported the running back has privately expressed interest in joining New England. Lynch to the Patriots sounds pretty appealing on paper, right? “Beast Mode” was one of the NFL’s premier running backs before retiring after the 2015 season despite a slightly down, injury-prone final season, in which he carried the ball 111 times for 417 yards with three touchdowns in seven games. But it could be an expensive and complicated process to get Lynch in the Flying Elvis helmet. Lynch would still be under contract with the Seattle Seahawks if he truly decides to unretire.

Brandon Marshall Praises Patriots’ WRs, ‘Third Man Crush’ Julian Edelman
Share this: When it comes to wide receivers in Sunday’s Super Bowl LI, most of the attention is on the Atlanta Falcons’ Julio Jones, and rightfully so. But the New England Patriots also have an impressive wide receiving corps. Just ask New York Jets wideout Brandon Marshall. During an appearance on FOX Sports 1’s “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” on Thursday, Marshall had some pretty high praise for the wide receivers from the Jets’ archrival. “I love their receivers,” Marshall told Cowherd, as transcribed by FOXSports.com. “I love Edelman. He’s my third man crush. He is Steve Smith. That’s who he is. But like Deion (Sanders) said yesterday, it’s like reverse racism. Because he’s white, he doesn’t get the love he deserves. We all come
Patriots Vs. Steelers Live: Score, Highlights, Analysis Of AFC Championship Game
Share this: 8 a.m. ET: The New England Patriots are one game away from their ninth Super Bowl appearance, and winning won’t come nearly as easy as it did last week. The Patriots take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at 6:40 p.m. in the AFC Championship Game. Because the Patriots earned home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, the conference title game will be played at Gillette Stadium. The Steelers will pose the biggest threat to the Patriots since the Seattle Seahawks came to Foxboro, Mass. in Week 10 and beat New England. The Patriots’ defense has a chance to silence critics by shutting down Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Pittsburgh’s offense. The Patriots ranked first in the NFL in points allowed this season, but
