New England Patriots 17, Buffalo Bills 10

The New England Patriots (9-5) didn’t play their best on Sunday, but they did enough to beat the Buffalo Bills (5-9).  Randy Moss was probably the Patriots top offensive player, coming off a week where people claimed he quit on plays.  Moss caught 5 passes for 70 yards and 1 touchdown.  It was one of only two touchdowns for the Patriots who managed to get only 224 total yards on the day.  Tom Brady looked was off and threw for only 115 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception on 11/23 passes.  Laurence Maroney ran the ball pretty well, rushing for 81 yards and 1 touchdown on 23 carries.

This was more of a defensive game, and the Patriots defense held down the Bills very well.  The Bills offense put up some similar numbers as the Pats offense.  The Bills were only able to get 241 total yards and the Pats defense held them to 136 passing yards.  They had a hard time with Fred Jackson though, as he rushed for 80 yards on only 15 carries.  This wasn’t exactly a pretty game for either side, but the Patriots got the win.  It was only their second road win of the year.
