"Throughout their years of utter domination that ultimately led to a 20-year dynasty, the Patriots created many enemies across the league and in the media, most of whom still hold grudges made public to this day. One of their biggest haters has long been FS1's Nick Wright, a massive Chiefs fan who had long prayed for Tom Brady and the Patriots' downfall."
"Absolutely 10 out of 10 tremendous performance by the Pats defense & Vrabel. Drake Maye had some first playoff game jitters but then settled in and made the game sealing throw. That was an awesome, championship caliber playoff victory for the Pats.- nick wright (@getnickwright) January 12, 2026"
"Maybe it's because the Chargers are a divisional rival to the Chiefs, so Wright enjoys seeing them get eliminated from Super Bowl contention. Or perhaps he has finally turned a new leaf and is willing to acknowledge excellence when he sees it; it's hard to say, but it's still hard to believe his complimentary words about their performance."
During two decades of dominance that produced a 20-year dynasty, the Patriots accumulated enemies across the league and media who still hold public grudges. FS1's Nick Wright, a devoted Chiefs fan, previously criticized Tom Brady and the Patriots and expressed biased, often outlandish opinions. After the Patriots eliminated the Chargers from playoff contention, Wright praised New England's performance on X, crediting the defense, coach Vrabel, and quarterback Drake Maye despite some jitters. Wright called the victory 'championship caliber,' surprising fans familiar with his history of minimizing Patriots accomplishments. Fans speculated about rivalry motives or a genuine change of heart.
