A nor’easter lumbering far off the East Coast in the Atlantic strengthened late Wednesday afternoon, emerging as Subtropical Storm Josephine, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm was packing maximum sustained winds of 65 mph, and there’s a chance for Josephine’s powerful winds to intensify to hurricane force by Thursday afternoon. Sustained winds need to clock at 74 mph for a storm to reach Category 1 hurricane status, according to the Saffir-Simpson Scale, which measures hurricane strength. Forecasters said the storm had become better organized as “the system has continued to acquire subtropical characteristics.” This essentially means that the storm is self-sustaining without any help from surface fronts, which sparked the storm to materialize in the first place. Subtropical storm Josephine will continue on a northeast track as it is forecast to strengthen through Friday. Boston GlobeJosephine is considered subtropical because the core of the storm is not considered warm enough to be a tropical storm — but honestly, aside from the textbook definition, it sure looks and is behaving like a tropical storm.

Patriots pay price for missed opportunities along the way to losing to the Bears
“I know that was a big turning point in the game,” Maye said. “I know I let my team down.” The mistake, Maye’s first turnover in two weeks, had the Patriots playing catch-up for the rest of the game. The Bears scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive to extend their lead to 20-7 and, despite New England’s fight, held on to win.

Enter EmailThe shorthanded Patriots — against a talented opponent on a short week, on the road, on a national stage — had their chances but didn’t have quite enough. Maye completed 24 of 31 passes for 321 yards and two touchdowns, and also scrambled for 26 yards and a score. The pick marred his otherwise solid stat sheet. “It’s a thin margin when you play good teams,” coach Mike Vrabel said. “I know [Drake] would like that throw back to Eli, but I thought he really competed, whether that was running around or scrambling or finding good places to go with the football. He gave us a chance.
Same draft class, stellar play keep Drake Maye and Caleb Williams connected
That’s how it works when enticing prospects commence their NFL careers as high draft picks in the same year. They’re praised and picked apart during the absurdly prolonged buildup to the NFL Draft, which starts the engine for that either/or, are-we-sure-he’s-better-than-him debate. Thursday night, in their second career meeting and first in prime time, Williams and the Bears emerged victorious over Maye and the Patriots, 30-24. Both surpassed 300 yards passing. Both had stellar, and sometimes breathtaking, moments. Caleb Williams's 308 passing yards were spread among just five receivers. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe StaffWilliams completed 22 of 33 passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with Luther Burden III for four receptions for 130 yards and a touchdown in the first half alone. His first-quarter 58-yarder with Burden, which set up a D’Andre Swift 4-yard rushing touchdown to give the Bears a 10-0 lead, accounted for more passing yards than Maye had in the entire opening quarter (51).
