News reports indicate that Kevin Faulk suffered a torn ACL during the game against the Jets. This could be a huge blow for the Pats as well as Faulk's career. He turned 34 last June and looks at a long rehabilitation process to get back on the field next year at the advanced age of 35. Time may have caught up with him.
It seemed inevitable that Faulk would reach this point because of his punishing style of play. His dependabilty on third down cannot be easily replaced. When Brady went down in the first game of the 2008 season, the team still finished with a record of 11-5. No player is indispensable. It could happen to Randy Moss or Wes Welker next week or in week 12.
It's such a cliche, but everyone needs to play like it's the last play of their career because it could very well be.
