Entering Week 12, the Patriots rank 30th in frequency of play-action passes, while Drake Maye ranks 33rd of 36 quarterbacks (17.7 percent) and Jacoby Brissett ranks 36th (13.4 percent).

When the Miami Dolphins played the New England Patriots in Week 5, they did a decent enough job limiting the Patriots’ best players and barely escaped with a victory.

In time, the dynasty-era Patriots will force the Hall’s hand. Rob Gronkowski becomes Hall eligible in 2027. Tom Brady will become a first-ball Hall of Famer a year later. Bill Belichick is another lock, just like Brady. Fringe candidates like Stephen Gostkowski and Julian Edelman will be up for consideration next year.

Bill Belichick is the NFL's most successful coach during the Super Bowl era. But given the ongoing treatment of his former boss, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, it's fair to wonder how the Pro Football Hall of Fame's voters will treat Belichick when he is eligible for induction in 2026.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft will have to wait at least one more year to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
