Super Bowl’s Controversial Ending Will Be Greatly Scrutinized in Days to Come (Video)
Super Bowl XLVII had a little bit of everything.
But the part of the game that will be most talked about — other than the half-hour power outage, of course — is the controversial ending. On fourth-and-goal from inside the Ravens’ 5-yard line with less than two minutes to play, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick tossed a fade to Michael Crabtree in the end zone. Crabtree jostled...
Matt Chatham Stresses Routine for Patriots on Eve of AFC Championship Game (Video)
Matt Chatham is no stranger to playoff football, having suited up for all three of the Patriots’ Super Bowl championship teams.
The former special teams maven gave NESN Daily some insight into a player’s mindset the night before a big game — like the one New England will play against the Ravens on Sunday. Each player has his own routine leading up to game day, and Chatham stressed...
Brendon Ayanbadejo Will Get Targeted by Patriots Special Teamers After Critical Twitter Comments (Video)
On Sunday night while the Patriots were trampling the Texans at Gillette Stadium, Brendon Ayanbadejo was sitting at home stewing while watching New England’s no huddle offense.
That’s when the Ravens’ special teamer took to Twitter to air his grievances with the Patriots’ hurry-up ways. Unfortunately, he likely did more harm than good for Baltimore by pointing out what he...
Patriots Can’t Look Ahead After Clinching Home Field for AFC Championship Game
With the Broncos eliminated from the playoffs, it would be tough for the Patriots not to look ahead and realize that if they beat the Houston Texans on Sunday, the AFC Championship Game would be played at Gillette Stadium. Nine-year NFL veteran Matt Chatham says players have to look past that and just focus on the game ahead.
Even after pummeling the Texans 42-14 in Week 14, the...

Patriots Should Go All Out, Not ‘Scoreboard Watch’ in Week 17 Due to Young Team (Video)
If anyone knows how the Patriots’ locker room gets hours before kickoff on Week 17, it’s three-time Super Bowl champion Matt Chatham. The Patriots’ former linebacker says New England should be going all out against the Dolphins.

Patriots Probably Won’t Rest Regulars Sunday With Chance to Be No. 1 Playoff Seed (Video)
Who remembers the last week of the 2009 season? In a matchup against the Texans in Houston, Wes Welker tore his MCL and ACL on a non-contact play, missing the playoffs that season.
That’s the kind of injury the Patriots will have to consider going into a Week 17 game against the Dolphins. Though New England is assured of a playoff spot, they could still earn a Round 1 bye or a...
NFL Rules Have Made Window to Hit Quarterback Too Small (Video)
The NFL is trying to cut back on head injuries by increasing unnecessary roughness penalties, but NFL players old and new alike aren’t too pleased with them — especially defenders.
On Sunday, we saw two helmet-to-helmet shots penalized in the Patriots-Jaguars game. The first was on a play that Tom Brady appeared to duck down at the last second, before receiving a hit from Jeremy...

Kevin Faulk, Matt Chatham Say Romeo Crennel’s Decision to Play Sunday Should Not Be Questioned (Video)
The Jovan Belcher murder-suicide may have taken place in Kansas City, but it hit home for many current and former Patriots who played under both head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli.
Matt Chatham said the decision to play was rightfully on Crennel, and that in times of tragedy its best to trust your leader. Chatham also said that different players handle these...
Fan Runs on Field During Florida State-Miami Game While Ball Is in Play (Video)
For one play in the Florida State-Miami game, there were 23 men on the field. And one of them was a crazy person.
With six minutes left in the first quarter, a man ran on the field waving his arms wildly as the Seminoles completed a 15-yard pass.
The play was ruled complete since officials ruled the field-stormer did not interfere with the play. It also looked...
Jeff Howe, Matt Chatham Credit Patriots With Team Victory Over Broncos (Video)
In the latest installment of the Tom Brady-Peyton Manning battle, it was Brady and the Pats who took care of Manning and the Broncos.

The Celtics/Miami series feels like it just ended (and still stings) and here we are at the start of another Celtics season. The Celtics hold their annual media day today, hold their first practice tomorrow, and then head to Turkey early next week.

Kevin Faulk, Matt Chatham Thought Ravens Missed Game Winning Field Goal Over Patriots on First Look (Video)
The list of people who thought the Patriots should have won on Sunday night are adding up. Add Kevin Faulk and Matt Chatham to that list.

Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins Present Climate Challenges for 'Easy' Patriots Schedule (Video)
The New England Patriots haven't had any issues traversing their path to the AFC East crown for much of the past decade. A big factor in overcoming that difficult road, though, is the timing of games against two division rivals. The Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills are bitter rivals with the Patriots, and each of their respective climates can present serious problems for New...

Another Epic Loss For Sox, Patriots Set For Tampa
Wow.
Any other season, and last night’s game would’ve been looked at as just a crazy, infuriating but entertaining game.
For this team, it’s just another night at the ballpark, and another kick in the nuts.
The insane 14-13 extra innings loss to the Angels was epically painful. Much like the entire season has been.
I don’t think there is much else to say. Most everyone â...
