"Not sure how "bold" this take is anymore, especially given the recent odds. Still, it's an achievement in and of itself that Drake Maye - who entered the season as a promising youngster with plenty of room to grow - could be well in line to become the seventh second-year pro to win league NFL, joining elite company that includes Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Kurt Warner, Dan Marino, Earl Campbell, and Jim Brown."
"As Jayson Tatum crumpled to the hardwood at Madison Square Garden in May, Celtics fans expected the worst. Those fears were realized when Tatum was quickly diagnosed with a ruptured Achilles tendon - mapping out a scenario where a contending Celtics team was set to mire in purgatory as Tatum spent the entire 2025-26 campaign on the mend. So much for that."
Boston sports experienced major shifts in 2025, including a Patriots turnaround, Jayson Tatum's ruptured Achilles, Roman Anthony's arrival, and Brad Marchand's exit. Predictions for 2026 include the Patriots potentially reaching Super Bowl LX in February. Drake Maye is projected to win NFL MVP after a breakout second season, joining elite company of second-year MVPs and narrowly besting Matthew Stafford following a three-touchdown performance against the Dolphins. Jayson Tatum suffered the Achilles injury at Madison Square Garden but is expected to return to the court at TD Garden on Sunday, March 1 against the 76ers, with rust likely but long-term health anticipated.
