Pats Chat: A Patriots podcast with Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley

It's AFC Championship week, and the Patriots are heading to Denver looking to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LX. They're not going to lose to a team quarterbacked by Jarrett Stidham ... are they?
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the game in detail, from their expectations for Stidham, to how Drake Maye and the offense can operate against a sack-happy defense, to Will Campbell's need for a bounceback game, to injury updates and more.

The New England Patriots are one win away from making the Super Bowl, after a 28-16 win over the Houston Texans in the divisional round. Drake Maye had a rough game with four fumbles, but he also delivered some elite passes, while the Patriots' defense neutralized C.J. Stroud, Woody Marks and the entire Texans offense.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down all the highs and lows from this Patriots win, while looking ahead a bit to next week, when the Patriots will face ... Jarrett Stidham? With a trip to the Super Bowl on the line? That's crazy.
And before the Pats Chat ends, Doug and Mike get passionate about the Brandin Cooks non-catch/interception that essentially killed the Bills' season. WHAT'S EVERYBODY UPSET ABOUT?!

It's divisional weekend, and the Patriots are hosting the Texans with a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line. While the Texans' defense is rightfully getting a ton of attention this week, it's a major question whether C.J. Stroud's five-fumble performance in Pittsburgh will carry over into Foxboro.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the upcoming game, from Christian Gonzalez's expected return, to Nico Collins' likely absence, and everything else we can expect on Sunday.

The Patriots beat the Chargers in the wild card round of the postseason, and it was the defense that led the way. Milton Williams and Christian Gonzalez played like All-Pros as the defense pummeled Justin Herbert all night en route to a 16-3 home victory.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down all of that defensive play while also assessing Drake Maye's ups and downs and all the other highlights (and lowlights) from the win.

IT'S PLAYOFF WEEK IN NEW ENGLAND. Instead of dealing with coach firings and GM interviews, New England is preparing for playoff football at Gillette Stadium, with the Patriots hosting the Chargers in the wild card round.
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down how the Patriots can secure a victory and move on to the divisional round while also touching on the importance of Drake Maye to get his first playoff win (while keeping Justin Herbert's win total at zero).
There's also the ever-maddening MVP debate, where things have really gone off the rails.
