"So this is a huge challenge," he repeated. "But this is the same team we beat in Week 2, so we know we can beat 'em. You hear 'Oh, they're going to be mad, they'll be ready to get after it, they're going to try to whip us.' Guess what. We're going to try to whip them again."

"It's a game of inches, guys," Brady reasoned with reporters at his postgame news conference. "It's easy to second-guess, obviously. If we gain seven more inches, then it's a great call."

Brandon Tate on IR, Isaiah Stanback Promoted

The Patriots placed rookie receiver Brandon Tate (knee) on season-ending injured reserve Saturday, and promoted quarterback/receiver Isaiah Stanback from the practice squad to the active roster.

Stanback adds depth at receiver, especially with rookie Julian Edelman (forearm) questionable for tonight, and also provides depth at quarterback.

Revel in the Rivalry

There's a guy in town, name is Larry Bird. Throughout the 1980s, he was one half of sport's greatest team and individual rivalry -- the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, Bird and Magic Johnson. He, too, has heard all the talk from the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots, how tonight's nationally televised game is . . . here it comes . . just another game.

"Just another game," deadpanned Bird, the Indiana Pacers president. "Yeah, right. I don't buy any of it."

Randy Moss Gives Back

Randy Moss Gives Back

Moss and his associates with Randy Moss Enterprises have refurbished the DuPont Middle School fieldhouse to a state-of-the-art facility, complete with new lockers for both home and visiting locker rooms, new weight equipment, a new players lounge with a big screen television, and spruced up the weight room, coaches office, restrooms and laundry room. It was unveiled last week in a private ceremony with students at the school with little fanfare.

Helping out the children who are following his footsteps at DuPont holds a special meaning in his heart, Moss said.

"It’s my community and my neighborhood. When those guys strap on that helmet on Thursday night, it’s the same helmet I used to strap on. This is permanent. It’s something that will be there always. It’s not like giving an autograph or a jersey that will fade or go away. It’s permanent. It will also pass down through the midget league system for the kids that are coming in the future. I’m really excited about it."
