First reported by Jeff Howe, the Patriots have informed Derek Rivers that he’s being released. Rivers has had a disappointing time in New England following a number of injury-plagued years with the team.

The Super Bowls, and the Hoodies

by

Over the years, Bill Belichick has sported many different hoodies and jackets during his tenure as Patriots HC. Now, let’s take a look back at what he wore during every Patriots Super Bowl appearance since he became HC in the year 2000.

Make sure you check out Mike Reiss’ visual feature on the history of Bill Belichick and his hoodie here.

Super Bowl XXXVI

Adidas Blue Windbreaker – Official Record – Unknown
(Notes- SB36 win)

A funny-looking hoodie you may think, but we don’t discriminate, the beginning of the Dynasty took place with this classic Adidas windbreaker. As this bad boy was worn just before the official Belichick Hoodie Database records began, we’re not sure what it’s winning record is.

It’s certainly a HOF candidate given the historical ramifications the game it appeared in had on the Franchise’s history.

Super Bowl XXXVIII

Carolina Panthers 29-32 New England Patriots

These teams have only met 12 times since the Texans became an NFL franchise in 2002, the last time was one to forget.

Kai Forbath opened the scoring for the Patriots with a 23-yard field goal after a long drive into Texans territory stalled. After failing to do anything with the ball on their first drive, Houston punted and Brady went back to work.

That was short-lived however, Brady’s pass intended for N’Keal Harry was intercepted by Bradley Roby, Deshaun Watson then found Duke Johnson who ran it in for a 14-yard score.

Patriots vs Ravens – Player Ups & Downs

by

David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports

The weather was horrendous, but thankfully the Patriots were not. The Ravens were toppled in a rough encounter at Gillette Stadium. Here are the ups and downs from Week 10.

Ups ⬆️

Cam Newton

Cam is up for me this week as he continues to build on positive performances. His stat line wasn’t off the charts, but he ended his run of games without a passing touchdown, led the team, and most importantly, made good decisions. Good for Cam.

The Patriots were well and truly thumped the last time these two teams met.

After initially stopping a spirited drive by the soon to be league MVP, Lamar Jackson, Shilique Calhoun jumped on the field goal try to give an automatic first down to the Ravens. Jackson walked in on the next play to open the scoring.
