FOXBOROUGH – Compete, lose with dignity and maintain draft position. That’s ultimately what every Patriots’ fan should have been rooting for on Sunday when New England hosted the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs. And, it’s exactly what they got.

Image courtesy of Getty Images It may be a hard pill to swallow Patriots fans, but Mike Tomlin has done everything Bill Belichick couldn’t do after Tom Brady left. Tomlin – who has never had a losing season in his 17 years as as the head coach of the Steelers – has been able to keep Pittsburgh afloat and regularly in the hunt after Ben Roethlisberger departed. The Steelers’ franchise…
FOXBOROUGH- The Patriots wore their throwback uniforms on Sunday against the Chargers and it brought me back to my childhood. I was a senior in high school again. Pat the Patriot uniforms, bad quarterback play, a bad offense, an half empty stadium and a team that is currently 2-10. It felt like 1992 all over again. The Patriots are the worst team in the NFL. Yes. Worse than the Carolina…
