What happened: The New England Patriots offensive line held its weekly positional dinner Thursday at Neroli Ristorante in Westwood. The gathering featured steak, veal, and tiramisu.

Why it matters: The Patriots are 5-3 in 2026 through eight games, holding the seventh seed in the AFC following a 24-19 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Positional dinners serve as a routine team-building tradition for offensive line groups navigating the regular season.

What to watch: New England looks to build on its one-game winning streak as the second half of the regular season continues.
