Haggerty: Bruins' scoring depth opening eyes around the league
It was another impressive teamwide victory for the Boston Bruins on Thursday night in a situation where letdowns and phrases like “scheduled losses” can be tossed around pretty liberally. They were returning home from a long, successful road trip and could have been ripe for an effort where they let down and lost focus away from the task against a mediocre Nashville Predators they absolutely should be able to handle.

The New England Patriots saw their three-game winning streak come to an end Thursday night, falling to the Chicago Bears 30-24 in a back-and-forth battle at Soldier Field.

Bedard: The Patriots' defense fell apart in key spots in loss to the Bears - what happened?
On 58 plays, the Patriots allowed just 175 total yards, or 3.0 yards per play.The problem was that New England was basically a train wreck on the other eight plays, which accounted for 230 yards (28.8 average) and cost the Patriots a road victory.
Giardi: Patriots feel like they let one slip away in Chicago
It was there for the taking. Despite having the deck stacked against them - starting two guards who basically just got here, a short week, on the road against a good football team - the Patriots should - and did - feel like they let one slip away.

Both QBs are really good in their own way.

Bedard's Breakdown: The good news is there's nowhere to go but up for A.J. Brown heading to Chicago
I can't recall grading a worse performance by a receiver. They kind of get paid to, at the very least, catch most of the ball thrown their way — especially those making $32 million a year and acquired with a first-round pick.

Simone: Celtics connecting mistakes turned into a Pistons avalanche
Going cold would be an understatement. A wild understatement, at that. At one point in the second half, the Detroit Pistons went on a 23-0 run. The Boston Celtics had no answers.

Haggerty: Sturm making bold move with Zadorov scratch
It’s absolutely a delicate tightrope with a menacing, bullying player like Nikita Zadorov when balancing emotional, physical play with the necessary discipline needed to be effective while playing that style. It’s something that Zadorov is clearly well-versed in after suiting up for 13 years and over 800 games while also racking up over 1,000 career penalty minutes during that NHL time for the 31-year-old defenseman.
FINAL: Pistons 121, Celtics 113 - Detroit turned the tide

Bedard: Sorry, Mike Vrabel, there was no luck involved in Patriots' win over Jets
While I was on Team Vrabel after the blowout of the Raiders, I'm going to part with him after this one. Yeah, it wasn't a Picasso, but I liked this victory and thought there was a lot of good stuff in between A.J. Brown drops and trips to the blue injury tent.
