RB Laurence Maroney fumbled the ball in yesterday's win against the Jets. It was the second consecutive week where he fumbled. Prior to this season, he had only coughed up the ball once in his time with the Pats.
The TD reception by Randy Moss gave him 144 for his career and tied him for 5th all-time. He continues to make his personal assault on NFL receiving records. He had a challenging day with CB Darrell Revis. Late in the 4th quarter, he was called for offensive pass interference. The replay showed that he had his arms around Revis.
Leigh Bodden enjoyed a career day with three interceptions. I heard an interview with him on Friday. He appreciates his time with the Pats as he spent last season in Detroit on a team that went winless.
WR Julien Edleman continues to emerge as a Wes Welker clone. His gritty reception and run after the catch on 3rd and 4 kept a drive alive. Maroney subsequently scored on a 1 yard run.
Safety Brandon Merriweather continued his emergence as a force on defense with a critical interception in the 4th quarter.
LB Tully Banta-Cain recorded his 5th sack of the season, stripping the ball from QB Mark Sanchez with Derrick Burgess recovering the fumble.
As expected, Coach Belichick was a different person in his post-game press conference. He even made the memebers of the media laugh.

I think Wes Welker bathes his hands in glue before the start of a game. It's unreal some of the catches he's made! If this were the Celtics he'd be piling up Tommy points all over the place!
