Jayson Tatum's birthday present to himself may be a return to the game that was abruptly taken away from him nine-plus months ago.

In this made for social media moment we’re living in, in which everything is maximized, was there ever a world in which Jayson Tatum returned to action before the documentary chronicling his road back concluded?
#Celtics #NBA
For what it’s worth…
Feb. 10 marked 39 weeks in Jayson Tatum’s rehabilitation from his Achilles tendon injury.
March 3 would be 42 weeks. That’s also Jayson Tatum’s birthday.
The Celtics host the Charlotte Hornets on March 4.

Drake Maye said he doesn’t plan to have any surgical procedures on his throwing shoulder this offseason, after receiving a pain-relieving injection before their Super Bowl loss.
“Just get some time off. Time’s the best healer.”

Most times sacked in a season since merger (playoffs included):
David Carr 76 in 2002
Randall Cunningham 72 in 1986
Joe Burrow 70 in 2021
Drake Maye 68 in 2025
Caleb Williams 68 in 2024
David Carr 68 in 2005
Drake Maye was a dependable and steadying force for the New England Patriots this season. The second-year quarterback never got the chance to be that when his team needed him most in the Super Bowl.

#SuperBowl
A heralded defense vs. an underrated one. A celebrated second-year quarterback vs. a veteran QB who has gone from perceived bust to beloved.
This year’s Super Bowl matchup between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks is all about contrasts.

As the New England Patriots continued to rack up wins late in the regular season, coach Mike Vrabel shied away from mentioning the idea of a Super Bowl run when he spoke to his team after games.
But there were hints of where he felt this team could go.

Zak Kuhr didn’t have any lofty expectations when he joined Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff as an inside linebackers coach prior to this season.
He wound up having to lead a defense for the first time. He's thrived, and the Patriots are in the Super Bowl.

When Drake Maye thinks of what it took for him to make it to the Super Bowl in his second NFL season, his mind drifts to some of the stiffest competitions he’s faced.
“Every two-on-two basketball (game) in the backyard probably prepared me for this."

Left back pylon. One knee. Head bowed. Eyes closed.
That is how Stefon Diggs will spend some of his final moments prior to kickoff of the first Super Bowl of his career.

Mike Vrabel has focused on creating a specific culture during his first season as coach of the New England Patriots.
The tone was set when he first spoke to the team prior to the start of the offseason program in April.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is dealing with an illness and did not practice on Friday, the latest wrinkle in the quarterback’s preparations for the Super Bowl matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

I certainly applaud the transparency. But in this social media driven world of ours this is one hell of a way to get engagement by Gregorian. I’m suddenly thinking about Lord of the Flies. Just saying.
Count New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft among those shocked that Bill Belichick will reportedly not be selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
“...Bill Belichick’s record and body of work speak for themselves."
apnews.com/article/bill...
Our @RobMaaddi with full Belichick Hall of Fame reaction around the NFL world:
apnews.com/article/beli...
“He is the greatest coach of all time and he unequivocally deserves to be a unanimous first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.”
#NFL #Patriots
“As head coach of the New England Patriots for more than two decades, he set the standard for on-field excellence, preparation, and sustained success in the free agency and salary cap era of the National Football League.
Robert Kraft on the reported omission of Bill Belichick for this year’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame:
“Whatever perceptions may exist about any personal differences between Bill and me, I strongly believe Bill Belichick’s record and body of work speak for themselves.
There’s something about second-year New England Patriots quarterbacks and playoff games in the snow.

Drake Maye handled the sloppy, snowy conditions better than the home team and he scored New England’s only touchdown on a 6-yard keeper, propelling the Patriots to their 12th Super Bowl with a 10-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC championship on Sunday.

If any opponent is familiar with Denver Broncos fill-in quarterback Jarrett Stidham, it’s the New England Patriots, who drafted him in 2019 to serve as Tom Brady’s backup.

#NFL #Broncos #Patriots
Defensive Milton Williams on what he knows about Jarrett Stidham:
"Nothing. I ain't going to lie. Nothing. We're going to watch the tape on him and figure out what he likes to do. But they didn't like him over the Bo (Nix), so."
#NFL #Patriots #Broncos
Cornerback Christian Gonzalez on Pats' approach to facing Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham:
“He’s still a good quarterback. He can make a lot of throws. We’ve seen what he’s done when he’s been him games. He’s in the NFL for a reason."

Career starts and wins in regular season and playoffs for the 4 starting QBs in conference title game:
