Patriots-Texans Preview: New England Holds Clear Edge In Playoff Matchup
Share this: The New England Patriots shut out the Houston Texans 27-0 in September with their third string quarterback under center. There’s no reason to believe the results will be different when the two teams face off in the divisional round of the playoffs Saturday night at Gillette Stadium. The Texans are one of the worst teams in NFL history to make it into the second round of the playoffs. They won an extremely soft AFC South and then played the Oakland Raiders, who were down to a rookie third-string quarterback, in the wild card round. The Texans ranked 29th in Football Outsiders’ total DVOA, 30th in offense and seventh in defense this season. Tom Savage, who took over at quarterback for Brock Osweiler in
How Matt Lengel Went From Bengals’ Practice Squad To Playoffs With Patriots
by Zack Cox on Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 3:19PM 2,653 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Two months ago, Matt Lengel was midway through his second season on the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice squad. As recently as two weeks ago, he still was seeking his first NFL catch. Now, the 23-year-old tight end is just over a week away from playing in a postseason game for a New England Patriots team that has Super Bowl aspirations. “It’s a special place to be, in the playoffs,” Lengel said. “I’m just anxious for the opportunity and excited and just looking forward to whatever the game has.” A horde of media members gathered around Lengel’s locker Thursday morning, evidence of how his role in the Patriots’ offense has grown in
Here Are Dave Dombrowski’s Statistical Expectations For Pablo Sandoval In 2017
Share this: If Pablo Sandoval’s Instagram account is any indication, he’s in for a bounce-back 2017 season. But both Sandoval and the Boston Red Sox know workout videos don’t count as base hits. The Red Sox third baseman has been working this offseason to return from a shoulder injury that kept him out nearly all of 2016. Boston hasn’t acquired a third baseman this winter (and even traded away Travis Shaw), meaning the hot corner should be Sandoval’s to lose entering spring training. So, what are the team’s expectations for the 30-year-old as he enters his 10th major league season? Red Sox president Dave Dombrowski offered his thoughts Friday on the “Baseball Tonight” podcast of ESPN’s Buster Olney, providing specific numbers he hopes
NFL Draft 2017: Miami QB Brad Kaaya To Forego Senior Season, Enter Draft
Share this: The Miami Hurricanes will need to find a new starting quarterback next season. Brad Kaaya announced on Monday that he would be forgoing his senior season and is opting to enter the 2017 NFL Draft. Kaaya certainly made his mark in Miami over the course of his three years as the Hurricanes starting quarterback, as he will leave the university holding the all-time school records in passing yards with 9,968 and completions with 720. At 6’4″ and 215 pounds, Kaaya has the ideal quarterback frame that NFL scouts typically look for, and there is a good chance he is one of first five quarterbacks taken in the draft. Kaaya has the opportunity to be the first Miami quarterback drafted in over a decade.
NFL Rumors: Chargers Plan To Fire Mike McCoy After Disappointing Season
Share this: Mike McCoy will be on the sideline for the San Diego Chargers in Week 17, but it might be for the last time. The Chargers plan to fire their head coach after San Diego’s matchup against the AFC West division rival Kansas City Chiefs, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday. Thanks in part to a slew of injuries, the Bolts have stumbled to a 5-10 record this season. McCoy brought the Chargers to the playoffs as an AFC wild-card team in his first season in 2013, but they lost to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round. San Diego turned in another 9-7 season in 2014 before finishing below .500 in their last two, giving McCoy a 27-36 record over four seasons. If
