Gotta love the ol' defense

Gotta love that huge chip on Rodney's shoulder.

"It's a four-point difference every time they're down there if they kick a field goal or score [a touchdown]. That was huge for us. And it's not bad for a bunch of old men that can't play any more."

Great links, especially Don Banks column about how this game was classic Patriots Football.

Keep the faith!

Haven't heard, but was speculating the same

We do know that several of the offensive linemen battle illnesses, and we know this team has some bizarre playoff history with flus and such, but I haven't heard or read anything saying so. Could be he just had a bad game.
