Running back

A New York-based organization is making a huge donation to help the family of a fallen Worcester firefighter.

A hard-fought Texas high school football game took a backseat to the realities of life when opponents Gage Smith and Ty Jordan came together for an emotional prayer after the final whistle last week. Smith asked Jordan if the two friends could say a prayer together for Jordan’s mother, Tiffany Jordan, 42, who has stage 4 lung and bone cancer....

We don’t know if N’Keal Harry will be deemed ready for action this weekend against the Ravens. We don’t know if he’ll be activated to the 53-man roster by next week’s deadline before he’s sent back to injured reserve.

Give the Browns credit, they kept it close into the second half. An unfathomable series of events in the first quarter doomed Cleveland from the get-go though, the preseason all-hype team the latest to waltz into Foxboro and get thumped, this time in a 27-13 decision which has New England 8-0 at the halfway point of the season.

Off to a 4-0 start for the fifth time under Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, it’s hard to pinpoint many weaknesses on the Patriots roster. Chalk Sunday’s 16-10 win over Buffalo up as a horrid day for the offense, but an outlier that shouldn’t become the norm. The game still served as a reminder, however, that not all is perfect...

Just two weeks ago, Tom Brady stood in a clean pocket without a care in the world, going deep to Rex Burkhead for 32 yards in the fourth quarter of a game the Patriots would go on to win 43-0 in Miami. Brady completed four passes, including one for a touchdown, to Antonio Brown in the game, and it was...

Calling Sunday’s 16-10 win over the Buffalo Bills the ugliest win of all-time has some merit. Tom Brady, appearing in an NFL game for the 313th time (including the postseason) in his illustrious career, recorded his worst passer rating in a game the Patriots still managed to win at 45.9.

Though not entirely at fault, Tom Brady was abysmal, completing just 18 of 39 passes for 150 yards with an interception in the end zone in the second quarter.

Antonio Brown has indicated he’s not retiring from the NFL, only a few days after announcing he was done with the league in a Twitter rant. The four-time All-Pro wide receiver wrote on Twitter on Thursday: “I’m still the best why stop now.” He followed with the suggestion that the game needs him.

Give the NFL credit: at least teams can actually bring a player back from injured reserve these days. That wasn’t always the case. Prior to the lockout in 2011, once a player went on IR, that was it, their season was over.

Just one week after Tom Brady’s first two throws of the game went to seven-time Pro Bowler, four-time All-Pro, all-time headache Antonio Brown, New England’s offense reinvented itself with its first two targets going to … Brandon Bolden. The Patriots machine continued to roll on Sunday even after Brown’s fuse finally blew out, racing out to a 30-0 lead before...

As evidenced by outscoring their opponents, 76-3, through two games, the 2019 version of the New England Patriots are pretty darn good. The team is filled with talent all over the roster and equipped with enough depth to overcome just about anything the football gods throw their way. The Patriots are so loaded, however, that there’s not enough room for...

Antonio Brown hasn’t even arrived yet and the Patriots offense is playing like a cheat code. Seven players caught at least one pass from Tom Brady, who was downright surgical in New England’s 33-3 rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers on the same night the Patriots unveiled a sixth Super Bowl banner.

The Dallas Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott have agreed on a $90 million, six-year contract extension that will make him the NFL’s highest-paid running back and end a holdout that lasted the entire preseason, a person with knowledge of the agreement said Wednesday.

New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung has nothing to say regarding his legal situation in New Hampshire. “My mindset is on the (New York) Giants,” Chung said as he met with reporters at Gillette Stadium on Monday for the first time since news broke last Thursday that he had been indicted on a charge of cocaine possession.

Cedric Benson, former Bears running back, was killed in a motorcycle accident on Saturday night, according to KXAN, an NBC sister station in Austin, Texas.

In a rare move, Patriots Director of Player Personnel Nick Caserio was made available to the media on Saturday morning prior to the start of Day 3 of Patriots training camp.

Hollywood police say New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell returned from the gym May 25 and found the women gone and his jewelry missing.
