The Patriots lost to the Titans on Sunday and now have the #1 over all pick in next year's draft. News flash. That sucks. The conversation around Drake Maye willing this team to relevance is ridiculous and short sighted. The Patriots are much closer to being the latest team to ruin a promising young QB than the team that is propelled to greatness than that same Young quarterback.

Ray and Chief Bobby don’t believe the Patriots deserve credit for Sunday’s win against the Jets.

The New England Patriots pulled off a comeback to edge out the New York Jets 25-22 on October 27, 2024, snapping a six-game losing streak. New England initially struggled when rookie quarterback Drake Maye exited in the second quarter with a concussion, but backup Jacoby Brissett took over, managing key drives and connecting with Boutte and clutch catches down the stretch. Marcus Jones sparked the team with a crucial punt return in the third quarter. Rhamondre Stevenson scored the game-winning touchdown with 22 seconds left, sealing the Patriots' victory despite a late push from Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers​.

At the very least, 1-16 is officially off the table. We are now on 2-15 watch.
