The guys break down another solid day for Drake Maye, who finished 18/32, throwing for 235 yards and three touchdowns. They also discuss A.J.

"I just know that you have to be able to continue to improve, and I don't feel like we did. We won, which is the most important thing. I don't think we improved from what we had shown the previous two weeks, and I have to figure out why."

The season is finally here. Perhaps one of the most anticipated Boston Celtics seasons in a while. But not for the same reasons as in the past.
FINAL: Patriots 26, Jets 19 - Despite OL injuries, Brown's drops, NE wins third straight
The Jets (who will spin the dial with their coverages) would prefer to play two shell all day long and make Maye throw to the middle of the field, where he's less sure of himself. If the Patriots' run game can pull the Jets out of two deep, Maye will have 1-on-1s on the outside.
Bedard: There are some promising numbers for Drake Maye - including the close of this year's schedule
Maye's completion percentage over expected as a) WAY better than Stafford and Allen against the bottom half, and b) better than both against the top half. That shows elite accuracy against everyone.

The Red Sox enter the offseason coming off back-to-back postseason eliminations at the hands of the Yankees in the American League Wild Card Series.

NHL Notes: The win was worth the wait for B's, DiPietro
Perseverance and persistence are two things that are very often rewarded within the game of hockey. The Bruins have one of those stories within their midst this season as 27-year-old rookie Mikey DiPietro has won a regular backup goalie role on an NHL team for the first time in his career after stops in three different AHL destinations – and some time in the good, old ECHL for the Maine Mariners – since being drafted by the Vancouver Canucks back in the third round of the 2017 NHL Draft.

Simone: Preseason is for learning, but you can't learn much
Friday night was odd. It almost felt like the Boston Celtics were playing games with the Philadelphia 76ers. Getting in their heads. But the Sixers did the same in Boston.
BSJ Game Report: Celtics 125, 76ers 120 - An undefeated preseason
In their fourth and final preseason game, the Boston Celtics traveled south to take on the Philadelphia 76ers. But the starting lineups looked weird. Very weird.

Simone: Big things coming for Boston's bigs
Heading into this year, there may be an antidote on the horizon. Or perhaps two antidotes: Neemias Queta and Mitchell Robinson. They both look primed to thrive in this year's Celtics offense.
BSJ Game Report: Celtics 114, Hornets 93 - Boston surges ahead in fourth
For the second straight preseason game, the Boston Celtics rolled out their regulars. This time around, though, the game wasn't a blowout. So, a lot of the big-minute guys played the whole game.
Bedard's Breakdown: Drake Maye was great again vs. a low-rated pass defense, how does that compare to others?
Matthew Stafford was basically the same player against defenses in the top and bottom halves. Maye definitely feasted more against weaker defenses. Although he is closer to Josh Allen than Stafford, there's still a good distance.
FINAL: Celtics 114, Hornets 93 - Boston secures the victory

Inside the world of Celtics shooting school
It's more than a bit ironic that his Boston Celtics have now become one of the preeminent faces of the NBA's 3-point revolution. Obviously, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors popularized the trend. But Mazzulla's Celtics have taken things to another level.
