One of the greatest games I have seen.

Tonight The Patriots were the first team in NFL history to score a touchdown passing, rushing, on an interception return, on a blocked field goal attempt, and on a kickoff in a single game (it also all came in the second half).  It safe to say that special teams stepped up, but underneath it all is a single player that made most of this possible.  Pat Chung blocked a punt and a field goal, and was also able to get an interception that he brought back himself 51 yards.  One of the blocks was taken back by Kyle Arrington for 32 yards and the other was brought in by a 12-yard run by BenJarvus Green-Ellis.  Chung wasn’t the only player on the field with a big game; Brandon Tate ran back a kickoff return for 103 yards to begin the second half, his second of the season. Another record set tonight was Tom Brady becoming the quickest QB to reach 100 wins in the history of the NFL.  Wes Welker came down with 8 catches for 70 yards, while newly acquired Danny Woodhead caught Tom Brady’s only touchdown. 
Not everything that happened during the game was great, tonight was the first game that Randy Moss did not have a reception while playing for the Patriots, going on a 51 game streak.  With a bye week coming up the Patriots have plenty of time to prepare for Baltimore.
