Is it possible for a 43-year-old quarterback to still be in his prime? Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady turned in a vintage performance Saturday, leading the Bucs to a 47-7 win over the Detroit Lions. Brady threw for 348 yards and four scores in the win … and did it all in the first half. With the victory, the Buccaneers are officially going to the postseason. It will be the first time the franchise has appeared in the playoffs since 2007, which had been the longest postseason… Source link

Two New England Patriots streaks ended Sunday: their 11-year playoff streak, the longest in NFL history, and their nine-game winning streak against starting rookie quarterbacks. The Patriots lost 22-12 to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, a defeat that eliminated them from the playoffs for the first time since 2008 and just the second time since 2003. Tua Tagovailoa became the first rookie starting quarterback to notch a victory against the Pats since Geno Smith in 2013. The Patriots couldn’t pull… Source link

If the NFL season ended on Sunday night, we’d be experiencing quite an underdog story. Only three teams since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger have made the playoffs after starting 1-5.

As The Voice Season 19 went live for the first time Monday with the top 17, we already knew the names of the top 16 contestants. But that 17th slot would be filled by the publicly voted winner of last week’s four-way Knockout: either Team Blake’s Taryn Papa, Team Legend’s Julia Cooper, Team Gwen’s Larriah Jackson, or Ryan Gallagher from Team Kelly. Classical-crossover crooner Ryan was widely predicted to prevail, but as host Carson Daly announced the four-way result at the top of… Source link

It’s OK if you buried the 2020 New England Patriots and forgot about them. Everyone did. Part of that is many fans wanted the Patriots to finally go away after almost two decades of domination. That’s OK, too. Bad news, Patriots haters: New England isn’t quite dead yet. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach in NFL history, and lifting the Patriots out of their early grave and into playoff contention would be one of his most impressive accomplishments. An upset win over the Baltimore Ravens… Source link
