Bedard: When it comes to the Patriots and the postseason, the schedule will not matter; Bengals preview Basically, your strength of schedule in the NFL means absolutely nothing when it comes to your prospects in the postseason.

Giardi: NFL Notebook - Pats DL must pick it up in Williams' absence; plus, we've officially reached 'hot seat' season The Patriots' defense will have to live without one of its most impactful players this weekend in Cincinnati, and then face the Giants, Bills, and Ravens at the bare minimum before Williams is eligible to come off injured reserve.

Giardi: Maye's improved accuracy fueling Patriots' offense With the growing possibility that Joe Burrow may be quarterbacking the other side on Sunday, his counterpart in that game, Drake Maye, is on pace to do something last accomplished by the Bengals QB.

Giardi: Diggs thankful to be where he's at, just a year removed from surgery "I was never scared. So I didn't go in with the mindset of - "I always said, the worst has already happened." So let me get after as much as I can and prepare the right way."

Bedard's Breakdown: Drake Maye already showing mastery of McDaniels' tools at the line of scrimmage With every passing week, I keep asking myself, "Why does Drake Maye look more and more, not only comfortable, but confident?" I mean, he's only 11 games into playing in Josh McDaniels' system. Before the season, I figured, the worst-case scenario would be that Maye would start to be more comfortable in a new system around the midway point in the season. He's blown way past that. He's not just comfortable, he's making the system work for him.

Voice of the fan: The Pats are back, and so are Pats fans ... miss us? But now is no time to gloat. The ship has been righted, thanks to the additions of a high-level coaching staff and front office, the rise of franchise quarterback Drake Maye, an upgraded roster, and Robert Kraft deciding to make it rain blank checks last offseason. Yes, we are back … to being good.

Giardi: NFL Notebook - Patriots turning a dream into a reality; plus, a major shakeup for the Giants The parking lots were full, the grills were smoking, the beer was flowing, and I'm pretty sure I got a contact high walking into the building. That may be why the periodic rain and the kind of cold that settles into your bones could not dampen these feelings. Or it's simply because the Patriots are back, baby.

While Stefon Diggs didn’t find his way into the end zone he did have a big day finishing with 9 Catches for 105 Yards.

Giardi: Maye-mania takes over Foxboro as the Patriots run their win streak to 8 games I won’t accuse the Patriots offense of playing with their food, but after a sharp start, they settled into that Thursday night malaise. Lucky for them, Drake Maye is the quarterback, and he did what he’s been doing since the opener - took charge.

BSJ Game Report: Patriots 27, Jets 14 - Maye stars again as Henderson scores three times, Diggs over 100 yards In typical Thursday Night fashion, this was far from a pretty game but it didn't matter. The Jets took the ball and scored on the opening possession (again - sixth time in 11 games), but the Patriots answered back. The defense didn't allow a first down the rest of the first half against a truly pathetic Jets offense and QB Justin Fields, who completed just 57.7% of his passes for 116 yards

BSJ Live Coverage: New York Jets (2-7) at Patriots (8-2), 8:15 p.m. - New England looking for 8th-straight win Survive and advance. Just get out of this with a win and health. Patriots are only losing this game if they lose the turnover margin, and allowed a special teams big play.

Bedard: How a tip from Mike Vrabel unlocked Patriots LG Jared Wilson, and Jets preview & pick While watching the film of the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons, I noticed something a bit odd about rookie left guard Jared Wilson. While his fellow linemates were in three-point stances (one hand on the ground), Wilson was in a two-point stance (no hands on the ground). Play after play, it was the same thing. Didn't matter if it was run or pass, Wilson was simply squatting with his hands on his thighs.
