National Football League

For the last three years, New England has made habit of beating the teams below them in the standings while losing to virtually every team above them. Will that change Sunday?

It's the return of Two Poll Tuesday! Let us know what grade you'd give Mac for Sunday's effort, as well as his 3-game sample size here in 2023.

Let me be clear. I'm happy with the win, because a win is a win. However, I'm certainly not pleased with it.

Per CBS Sports, since the field expanded to a 12-team postseason format in 1990, teams that begin the season 0-3 have just a 2.5% chance to make the playoffs.

It's easy to make a case for either team Sunday because both teams are kind of in the same boat. Solid defenses that keep them in it most weeks, but offensively challenged.

Isn't a W or an L the only stat that really matters? Mac is now 2-7 in his last nine starts dating back to last Thanksgiving, with the two wins coming against backup QB's.

It's the first time since 2001 the Patriots are 0-2 to begin a season and its the first time in the Belichick era the team has trailed by at least 10 points in each of the first two games of a season.

It was a shocking blow just seconds into last night's Monday Night Football season opener when Rodgers had to be helped off the field and eventually carted to the locker room. By the time the game ended, the prognosis was all but known.

If the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles were playing a game of horseshoes yesterday, or lobbing hand grenades at targets, the Pats would be able to claim that by keeping it close, it was good enough.

How many games will the Pats win? Where will they finish in the division? Will they make the playoffs this year? That's for you to let us know!
