🚨Some Personal / Professional News🚨 I am excited to announce that I have accepted an offer to join New York Giants on SI to cover Big Blue starting today. It will be an honor to work alongside my friend and journalist extraordinaire @Patricia_Traina and her great team at Giants On SI. I cannot wait to hit the ground running to provide coverage for one of the most storied and well-respected organizations in the #NFL.  As a result of my new post with Giants On SI, the time has come for me to move on from New England #Patriots media. Since 2019, I have exclusively covered your favorite team from Foxborough for outlets such as Full Press Coverage, On SI, Athlon Sports and the Locked On Podcast Network. The privilege of getting to know so many great #NEPats fans for nearly the past decade has been a blessing, and I will always remain grateful for that opportunity. I wish to thank all who have both helped and supported me on my journey.  Pats Nation will always hold a special place in my heart.  While it was a difficult decision to leave Patriots on SI, it was a necessary one. Rather than dwell on inequity, I am rejuvenated by the prospect of joining a new market. Looking forward to an exciting season in East Rutherford … and getting Back in the New York Groove!

Giants QB JJ McCarthy suffered a hip pointer during Sunday’s win in Philadelphia, but the team is confident that he will be ready for Thursday night’s game vs. Washington.

At 21 years, 70 days, Giants LB Arvell Reese became the youngest player ever to record at least 3 sacks in a game. (Note: sacks became official in 1982)

J.J. McCarthy just fell to the ground in pain as he attempted to throw the ball on the sideline. Now he's in the blue tent.

Reese's first-half line is 9 tackles, 2 sacks and 2 TFLs (per Mike D'Abate). That's a lot of disruption from one linebacker before the break.

HALFTIME: Eagles 8, #Giants 6 Tough day for the #NYGiants IOL. Struggling mightily with the Eagles pass rush. Giants need to deploy some designed runs for McCarthy to help move the ball against the PHI front, who has been good today. Arvell Reese: 9 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFLs

Arvell Reese is a monster !!! Reese shows his quickness in getting to Milton unblocked and lays a hit on the young QB Giants needed a reversal of fortune and Reese delivered! #BigBlue #Giants #NYGiants

Big make for Dominic Zvada from 53-yards Both John Harbaugh and Chris Horton said that the rookie was working hard to improve his plant alignment and mechanics and they looked much smoother on that kick. Giants take an early 3-0 lead over the Eagles at the Linc. #NYGiants #Giants #BigBlue

Good pregame/early game read here by my guy @SLebitschSports
How Can the #Giants finally end their 13-game skid in Philadelphia? They must focus on striking inside the redzone, Jalen Carter’s presence and what they can do with one of their top targets against Quinton Mitchell. Three Key Matchups vs #Eagles si.com/nfl/giants/onsi/giant…

Bill Belichick also joined members of the 1986 New York #Giants in early Oct. for a dinner celebrating the 40th anniversary of the franchise's first Super Bowl win. Like he did against UCONN yesterday, he had coached UNC earlier that day against Notre Dame The bonds he has formed with his players continue to hold a special place for him, regardless of the crafted narrative surrounding him. #NEPats #BigBlue
Former #Patriots HC Bill Belichick drove to Foxborough last night to attend a reunion dinner celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Super Bowl LI, per @masslivenews. Belichick coached North Carolina against UConn earlier in the day, so he was unable to attend Rob Gronkowski’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony, but opted to head to Patriot Place rather than fly back to Chapel Hill. It is unknown whether Belichick will remain in town for today’s game against the Packers.

Seasons 1-5 of 24 were some of the most riveting television you could watch. For me, it was appointment watching, and the show remains a favorite of mine to this day. There’s some talk of a revival and I’d love to see Jack Bauer finally get a worthy send-off.
