Around the NFL: Will the Patriots bounce back?

With the Patriots, you get the impression they’re coached better than other teams. Seldom do you see them beat themselves – they don’t make the critical error at just the wrong time like so many other teams.   more »

24 Hours 'Til Sunday: Snapshot preview of the Super Bowl

So tomorrow is the Super Bowl, and for the majority of us who aren't diehard Patriots or Falcons fans, we're just hoping for a good game. The good news is that this isn't a game featuring some team that lucked its way in and is going to get blown away, or an absolute juggernaut against which no team can compete.

Factoid: Patriots Defense

You can't control who you play, so it's not fair to dock a team for their schedule. But I'm hearing the Falcons be dismissed in Super Bowl LI because of "Bill Belihick having two weeks to prepare" and so forth, and I'm not buying.

Factoid: New England Patriots

The Patriots looked pretty dominant in the regular season – 3rd in scoring and 1st in scoring defense. It doesn’t look like there’s much of a chance of anybody stopping them from making it to the Super Bowl. Or is there?  more »

Especially on defense. The Patriots don’t have a star-studded group on that side of the ball, but they’re leading the league in scoring defense.   more »
