After a 30-24 loss to the Chicago Bears drops the New England Patriots to 4-3 and out of the AFC playoff picture, Pats Pulpit offers a week‑long rooting guide for Week 7. The guide highlights which teams to cheer based on conference tie‑ins, draft‑pick implications, and record differentials—favoring the Saints over the Steelers, the Bengals, the Titans, the Cardinals, and the Seahawks, among others—while noting several matchups have no direct impact on New England. This quick cheat sheet helps fans track the Patriots’ broader schedule and potential strength‑of‑schedule boosts.
Drake Maye threw a costly red-zone interception against the Bears, but his response showed why Patriots fans should feel even better about their quarterback's future.
The New York Jets host the winless Miami Dolphins at 1:00 p.m. ET on October 25, 2026, hoping to bounce back from last week’s loss to the Patriots. Highlights include the signing of linebacker Jaden Keller, placing LB Kiko Mauigoa on IR, and questions about Garrett Wilson’s role, a possible trade deadline move, and a potential blockbuster deal with the Colts. Analysts break down three key matchups, five victory factors, and defensive X‑factors, while former players recount the infamous ‘Mud Bowl’ loss. The preview lists the day’s top Jets stories for fans gearing up for Week 7.
The Patriots fell 30-24 to the Bears on Thursday and now shift focus to Miami, but rookie contributions dominate the week’s recap. First‑round OT Caleb Lomu, despite being third on the depth chart, logs 160 offensive snaps with only one pressure allowed. Edge rusher ED Gabe Jacas records a career‑best five pressures against Chicago, bolstering a formerly weak defensive line. Third‑round TE Eli Raridon snaps up 44% of offensive plays, showing promise as a blocker and receiver. Quarterback Drake Maye impresses with poise under pressure, earning praise from Bears coach Ben Johnson. Meanwhile, wideout A.J. Brown’s explosiveness wanes after a high‑ankle sprain, and Coach Mike Vrabel faces a $250,000 fine for conduct toward officials.
The Patriots need help on offense for the rest of the 2026 season, and now they might have a chance to reunite Drake Maye with his former college receiver.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel breaks down the 30-24 Thursday night loss to the Chicago Bears, labeling his team's performance as the good, the bad, and the "s—t that gets you beat." Drake Maye shines with a 77.4% completion rate, 321 yards and two TDs, while a solid pass‑protection unit limits pressure to a 38.9% rate. However, New England’s run game sputters—just 44 yards on 14 carries—and the defense fails to contain big‑play moments, surrendering ten explosive plays. Vrabel highlights the need for better run blocking and tighter big‑play defense as the Patriots head into their next prime‑time matchup.

Edelman defended the QB‑turned‑commentator, noting their long‑standing friendship and three Super Bowl wins together. The article highlights how their playful trash‑talk underscores Brady’s growing confidence behind the mic.
