Bedard: Surprising Raiders will bring a unique challenge to beat-up Patriots with TE Brock Bowers, DE Maxx Crosby
With veteran dynasty Patriots Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels leading the charge for the present-day group, I'm going to assume they'll try to take Brock Bowers and Maxx Crosby out of the game, Belichick-style. I wish them luck.

Bedard's Breakdown: What looks real, fool's gold and still in question after upset of the Bills
Like the Jaguars' blowout loss, the Patriots' stirring upset of the Bills in Buffalo has raised a lot of questions on the other side of the spectrum. Instead of wondering whether the Patriots and Drake Maye were really as bad as they looked in Jacksonville, we're now wondering whether Maye and the Patriots have arrived. Like last week, there are no definite answers after four games, but we're getting some indicators. Let's break down the big themes into three categories: what appears real, wha...
