It used be the Patriots played their best football down the stretch, gaining steam toward an annual playoff run.“Real football,” they said, started after Thanksgiving.Well, here we are.The Patriots (2-8) likely cannot salvage their season, but they can begin to string solid performances together Sunday. The Giants (3-8) are plagued with more problems than even Bill Belichick’s bunch, including a third-string rookie quarterback, poor weapons and a defense that can’t stop anyone. That doesn’t mean the Pats should waltz into a win, even if they are 3.5-point favorites.But if they intend to start playing their best football, Sunday is the ideal place to start. Here’s what to watch for:When the Patriots runAs well as the Patriots ran the ball two weeks ago against the Colts, racking up a season-high 167 yards in Germany, there’s a chance they build on that performance Sunday.The Giants’ run defense ranks among the league’s worst by mo...NFL notes: Why Patriots players see 3 future head coaches on staff besides Jerod Mayo

Whether Bill Belichick leaves after this season or sometime in the years to come, linebackers coach Jerod Mayo is widely viewed as the favorite to succeed him as the Patriots’ head coach.Mayo has already interviewed for three head-coaching jobs in the last three years and turned down an interview last offseason with Carolina. In January, owner Robert Kraft released an unprecedented statement announcing the Patriots had engaged in contract negotiations to retain him. Mayo later reached terms on a new deal that opened new doors for him inside the building, including an inside look at Belichick’s search for a new offensive coordinator.The 37-year-old has long been heralded as a natural leader and players coach. It is not certain Mayo will be named the Patriots’ next head coach, though he is determined to become a headman somewhere someday. Players and colleagues see Mayo as a strong head-coaching candidate — and he’s not the only one on staff.Two members o...Top diplomats from Japan and China meet in South Korea ahead of 3-way regional talks

ST. LOUIS -- A quick system rolls through tonight into Sunday morning, bringing light rain and some wet snow (to the north). The split for wintry precipitation will be along the I-70 corridor, mostly with wet snow to the north and cold rain to the south. Along I-70, we could see a mix of rain and wet snow. Precipitation stays light in our area, with heavier snow and accumulations expected across northern Missouri. In our northern counties, we could see some light accumulations, mainly on grassy surfaces. In the metro, road temperatures still appear too warm for any snow we may see to stick, but travel to northern MO or west central IL could be a bit slick, especially during the morning hours. Most of the precipitation should be out of here by about 10 a.m., and then we'll be left with a cloudy, cold, and breezy day. Highs on Sunday will struggle to reach the low 40s. Sunday night lows fall into the 20s. We'll start the workweek cold and dry, with highs near 40 and a gradual warm-up ...St. Louis celebrates excellence at the 4th Annual Give Black Ball
