A football game between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts used to be for home-field advantage in the playoffs. Now, a game that felt a step removed from a championship carries a whiff of desperation.

New England’s victory against the Jets was among the Patriots’ most meaningful regular-season victories in recent years.

The Patriots are beginning an unknowable season with their unknown quarterback, Matt Cassel, who will make his first start against the Jets Sunday.

John Lynch, the nine-time Pro Bowl safety signed by New England two weeks ago, was released Sunday.

After a devastating Super Bowl loss, the New England Patriots began the new season by channeling the focus that put them on the verge of a perfect season.

Matt Walsh discussed instructions, the chain of command and cover stories for the team’s spying operations.
