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...

Haggerty: Youthful Bruins lineup will require some patience

Simone's Training Camp Notebook: Film breakdown with Ron Harper Jr.
Seemingly flying under the radar has been Ron Harper Jr. Emerging as a legitimate rotation piece by the end of last season, Harper signed a four-year contract with the Celtics this summer.
Bedard: 4 sequences to a victory - Maye shows progress playing on time in the Patriots' offense
Breaking down the key sequences in the Patriots' upset victory over the Bills, including:• Drake Maye playing more in rhythm of the offense on throws to Romeo Doubs, Mack Hollins and Efton Chism;• A holding call on Buffalo wiping out a poor decision by Maye on the goal line;• The game-winning drive;• And Josh Allen's terrible decision on the game-sealing interception.

Giardi here with all the good, bad and ugly (there was some) after the Patriots beat the Bills. Please remember to refrain on commenting until the Q&A is closed. Otherwise, got questions? Fire away.
Giardi: Monday morning coffee with Vrabel - Hollins, containing Allen and Maye's confidence
Mike Vrabel addressed the media Monday morning after his Patriots got “back in the race” following their upset win in Buffalo. He hit on a number of topics. Here are the ones that stood out to me:
Podcasts: Bedard on Patriots' turnaround in shocking upset of Bills with 98.5 The SportsHub & CLNS
Drake Maye led the Patriots to a huge win over their division rival, the Buffalo Bills, on Sunday afternoon. Despite a fumble and an interception, Maye led his team to victory with three passing TDs and 269 passing yards against Josh Allen and the Bills.
Bedard: After eating the deserved noise to start the season, Patriots entitled to talk their stuff after stunning upset of Bills
The Patriots are back, for at least one week on the field. But they're back in a big way in one area that is near and dear to the hearts of Masshole Nation: Proving the haters wrong.
Giardi: Patriots put their faith in Maye, and he rewards them for it
As Drake Maye answered the first question of his postgame press conference, he searched for the right way to describe his team, the Patriots, delivering an upset win in Buffalo.

Simone's Training Camp Notebook: Keeping up with the NBA Joneses
If such a huge part of winning in the NBA is figuring out how to keep up with the Joneses, then is there a way to predict the Joneses' next move?
FINAL: Patriots 29, Bills 26 - New England, Maye (3 TDs) shock Allen and the Bills
I do think Drake Maye has a chance to play much better because this is the simplest and least talented defense he has seen to this point. But none of us has any idea what we're going to see from Maye, so deeper analysis really isn't needed.
Bedard: The Patriots might fall to 1-3 against Bills, but here's five reasons to maintain optimism
Pretty soon people will be doing their quarter-season assessments, and I'm fairly certain the Seahawks, Jaguars and Bills will be near the top of the lists for their respective conferences. Depending on health, I would not be surprised to see any of those teams in the Super Bowl. I think people are majorly sleeping on the Jaguars. That's a damn good team in all three phases, and I'd argue they are the best team the Patriots have faced.

The JJ Peterka era has officially begun in Boston.
MLB Notebook: Division Series takes center stage as baseball’s biggest arms take over October
The Yankees pummeled the Red Sox in the American League Wild Card Series for the second straight year, sweeping Boston out of the Bronx.New York showed no mercy, crushing the Red Sox, 9-0, in Game 1 before finishing the sweep with a 9-2 victory in Game 2.

Giardi: NFL Notebook - Williams knows more is needed; plus, no set formula to develop young QBs
“100%,” he said. “100%. But getting to this point, to, you know, getting the recognition I'm getting is what you want as an interior lineman - to finally get to that point. But now you can't complain about getting more attention and getting doubled. You've got to figure out a way to make something happen.”
Simone's Training Camp Notebook: Player development reigns supreme
Player development has been the backbone of the Boston Celtics organization for years. So much so that they have built a team whose ceiling will be guided by its depth.
Bedard: Patriots will try to slow down Josh Allen, Bills without Gonzalez, Barmore; Vrabel on Maye's shoulder; Brown at RG
The Patriots will be without CB Christian Gonzalez and DT Christian Barmore — two of their best and highest-paid defenders — for Sunday's game at Highmark Stadium.
Red Sox saved a sinking season, but Yankees exposed the holes that never disappeared
For nearly three months, the Red Sox made it easy to forget how their season started.They were once 14 games under .500 and seemingly headed toward another lost summer. Then something clicked and Boston ripped off 15 consecutive wins, went 27-3 from the beginning of July into early August and, at one point, won 32 of 37 games.
Completed Q&A: Bedard on Patriots, Maye at 1-2 heading to Buffalo 10.02.26
