May the best team win. And in terms of the Patriots, this is a new chapter in New England, and I'm glad everyone's embraced the Mike Vrabel regime, all the amazing players that have worked so hard to get their club to this position. We did it for 20 years. There was a little bit of a hiatus in there, but the Patriots are back and it's a very exciting time for everyone in New England.

The crowd inside Gillette Stadium, as it would be for some much more important home games in January, went absolutely berserk. It was a sign of things to come for Henderson, who as the Patriots' speed compliment to running back Rhamondre Stevenson in the backfield, is uncatchable when he finds so much as a crease. He scored touchdowns on four runs of 50-plus yards this season, which is tied for the most by a rookie in NFL history.

If it wasn't bad enough for the NFL to see the Patriots back in the Super Bowl this year, they surely can't be happy about the latest increase to next season's salary cap and how much money that will give New England to continue building an even better roster. They went into the 2025 offseason with the most available cap space to spend,

Stars Drake Maye and Christian Gonzalez are each just 23 years old; they roster 15 rookies and have 12 picks in the upcoming draft. They're also ninth in effective cap space. All this would be encouraging for any team, but when you consider how well New England has done this season, the environment is just perfect. Not only has the team found success with less, but they also have the resources to continue improving.

The Patriots' decision to give Milton Williams the largest contract in franchise history has quickly paid off. Williams has proven to be worth the four-year, $104 million deal that includes $63 million in guaranteed money as the defensive tackle has been one of the Patriots' top players in their run to Super Bowl LX. He has two sacks this postseason to go with nine pressures, per Next Gen Stats.

After going unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft, Durden played in just eight games between the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams through his first two seasons in the league, registering 13 tackles, one tackle for loss, 1.5 stuffs, and zero quarterback hits. However, since initially joining the Patriots practice squad in late-August before being signed to the active roster prior to Week 1, Durden has more than doubled all of those totals.

Mack Hollins hasn't consistently worn shoes in the past decade, not since he started working with a cadre of holistic Australian trainers who extol the virtues of naked feet. He's barefoot today, as normal, or at least his normal, and the cafeteria staffers need him to freeze in his tracks. They'd like to clean up the mess, lest one of the team's newest wide receivers land on the injury report: downgraded to out (glass shards).

We are confident that the evidence will demonstrate that no criminal conduct took place. Based on the facts and the law, we expect that this personal matter will be resolved in the near future and both parties will move forward together.

After falling into obscurity, slowly but surely, over the last five years, the New England Patriots are back to where they are most comfortable: in the Super Bowl. They're set to take on the Seattle Seahawks in a championship rematch ten years in the making, hoping they'll endure the same joyful fate as the last time the two teams met in Super Bowl XLIX.

There is not a player on our team that is 100% healthy.
