New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was arrested on charges that include assault and battery, strangulation, and cocaine possession. Police in Braintree, Massachusetts announced Peppers’ arrest on Monday after they received a call early Saturday morning saying that there was an altercation between two people. The Patriots player was arraigned in Quincy District Court on Monday. The Incident The woman involved said that Peppers hit her, choked her “at least six times”, as well as took off her clothes, and left her outside. This happened at around 4 a.m. on Saturday in Braintree. In addition, the police said that he…

With several core players unavailable, the New England Patriots were teetering entering Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins. They ended up losing with a final score of 15-10 to drop a league-leading fourth straight contest, but they did receive some good news for a change: they did not appear to be suffering any big new injuries. With that said, let’s take a look at the damage after re-watching the contest. Injury analysis QB Jacoby Brissett: The Patriots’ starting quarterback is becoming a weekly constant on this list. On Sunday, he again was involved in multiple collisions including one that left…

Almost a full year after last playing in a game, Kendrick Bourne made his comeback on Sunday. The veteran wide receiver, who started the 2024 season on the physically unable to perform list, played 16 of a possible 60 offensive snaps in the New England Patriots’ loss to the Miami Dolphins. For Bourne, that 27 percent workload was smaller than his normal output. Before tearing his ACL last October, the Patriots’ most reliable pass catcher at the time was on the field for 73 percent of snaps. Obviously, the circumstances have changed quite a bit over the last 12 months,…

When the New England Patriots selected Drake Maye with the third overall pick of the NFL Draft back in April, some assumed that Maye would open the season as the starter. That did not happen, as Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo handed the job to Jacoby Brissett and doesn’t seem in any rush to turn the reins over to Maye. Tyler Brooke of The 33rd Team thinks that is the right decision because of all of the other issues New England has offensively. “Offensive line play is far and away the biggest problem for the Patriots’ offense,” Brooke wrote. “Brissett…

Most fans heading into this season had low expectations when it came to seeing how new Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo would fare in his first season. So far, with the team sitting at 1-4 heading into Sunday’s game against Houston, it certainly hasn’t started out the way he probably hoped. In their first week against the Bengals, the big question would be whether or not the club would go out there and potentially be a mistake-ridden, disorganized group against what many felt might be a Super Bowl-contending Cincinnati team. In what turned out to be a pleasant surprise, that…

The New England Patriots could certainly use some pass-rushing help after trading Matthew Judon, but they may have difficulty finding any legitimate help midseason. Plus, the Patriots will probably want to avoid trading draft capital at this point. That’s why Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine has linked New England to Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Josh Sweat in free agency. “Josh Sweat is having a down year in Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Josh Sweat in free agency. “Josh Sweat is having a down year in Philadelphia so far, but he’s a proven pass-rusher who might be looking for an opportunity to bounce…

As has been the case since the offseason, former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been talking a lot about the NFL. He has been making a ton of appearances on talk shows and broadcasts. It has given Patriots fans a better chance to get to know the man, not just the coach. Most recently, Belichick took some time to speak out about the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have won three straight games after escaping with a dramatic overtime win in Week 5. However, Belichick sees one major problem with the team. Belichick thinks that the Ravens are…

Most fans present at the Sunday Night Football clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys were irritable during the weather delay. But others found ways to pass the time. Snoop Dogg showed up, clad in Steelers gear, to entertain the crowd at Acrisure Stadium. He even got himself a workout in while everyone waited out the storm. When the game finally kicked off around 9:48 PM ET, Snoop Dogg’s presence had already fueled the stadium’s energy. The 52-year-old rapper was seen talking on the sidelines with players, hanging with other staff members and fans. He was at the Steelers…

The Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) suffered their second straight loss of the season to the Dallas Cowboys (3-2) on “Sunday Night Football.” It was yet another poor showing by the offense, which had just 226 total yards and only converted 25 percent (3-of-12) of its third downs. That, of course, has led to the discussion about whether the Steelers should send quarterback Justin Fields back to the bench and turn to veteran Russell Wilson. Wilson hasn’t made his regular-season debut since reaggravating his calf injury, but last week, he hinted he’s nearing his return. “We’re definitely ramping it up. It’s been…

The offensive struggles for the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) haven’t seemed to go anywhere despite the team making a change at offensive coordinator and rebuilding its quarterback room this offseason. It is clear there won’t be an instant fix for the Steelers’ struggling offense, but here are the five biggest problems with it: 1. No run game Running back Najee Harris is having the worst start to a season in his NFL career. Through five weeks, the former first-round pick has rushed for just 270 yards on 82 carries (3.3 yards per carry) and zero touchdowns. It is simply not good…
