The Patriots allowed 3 points against the Chargers.

That ties a franchise postseason low for the sixth time.

The last time New England held opponents without a touchdown in back-to-back playoff games was 1996.

Defense wins championships.

Both Patriots wins.

If you’re looking for an “affordable” apartment in Boston, you’re not imagining it.

Lower-cost rents have climbed nearly 20% since 2019, while most rent relief has gone to luxury units.

Why is there a 12 foot tall bronze pear in Dorchester?

Because this is where the Bartlett pear was first sold in 1817, and the statue in Edward Everett Square honors Dorchester’s farming roots and the Clapp family’s famous pear.
