The Patriots looked dead in the water last night as they were down 24-13 late in the 4th quarter.  But then the real Tom Brady showed up taking the Patriots on two quick TD drives to win the game.  The second TD was set up when Brandon Meriweather and Pierre Woods stripped Bills’ KR Leodis McKelvin of the football.  Tom Brady worked hard last night as he completed 39 of 53 passes for 378 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 interception.  Laurence Maroney led the Patriots on the ground with 32 yards on 10 carries (3.2 ypc).  Fred Taylor pitched in with 9 carries for 25 yards (2.8 ypc) with a TD run.  Randy Moss (141 yards) and Wes Welker (93 yards) each caught 12 passes apiece in this game.  But, TE Ben Watson was the star of the game on offense as he caught 6 passes for 77 yards (12.8 avg) with 2 TD passes.  The two TD receptions were 76 seconds apart in the 4th quarter and they gave the Patriots the win.  The Patriots finished up with 441 total yards (73 rushing, 368 passing) of offense in this game.

Brandon Meriweather (8 tackles) and OLB Tully Banta-Cain (4 tackles, 2 sacks) led the way for the Patriots on defense.  The Bills finished up with 276 total yards of offense (90 rushing, 186 passing) despite only having possession of the football for 22:52 of the game.  They need to get better.
