LAST REGULAR SEASON MEETING PATRIOTS 34, BENGALS 13

October 1, 2007 Paul Brown Stadium (Att: 66,113) 1 2 3 4 Final New England Patriots 10 7 7 10 — 34 Cincinnati Bengals 0 7 3 3 — 13

The Patriots defeated the Bengals 34-13 on Monday Night Football to improve to 4-0 on the season. New England gained a total of 173 rushing yards on 34 carries, while Tom Brady threw three touchdown passes – two to Randy Moss – to provide the offensive spark. Brady’s passer rating exceeded 100.0 and Moss’s receiving total exceeded 100 yards for the fourth consecutive week. Sammy Morris paced the rushing attack with 117 yards on 21 carries. On defense, the Patriots came up with

LAST REGULAR SEASON MEETING (continued) two interceptions and held the Bengals to 57 rushing yards as the team allowed 14 or fewer points for the fourth straight week. The Patriots got on the board first, taking a 3-0 lead on a 31-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski to cap off the game’s opening drive. After swapping punts, the Patriots got the ball back and marched 65 yards on five plays to take a 10-0 lead on a 1-yard touchdown reception by linebacker Mike Vrabel, who lined up as a tight end on a goal-line play. A 49-yard run by Morris was the key play of the drive as the first quarter ended with New England up by 10. On the Patriots’ first drive of the second quarter, the Bengals’ Leon Hall intercepted a Brady pass to set up a quick-strike drive directed by Carson Palmer that ended in a 1-yard touchdown toss to T.J. Houshmandzadeh and cut the Patriots’ lead to 10-7. But New England answered back, compiling an ensuing drive of 62 yards and 12 plays to take a 17-7 lead on an acrobatic 7-yard scoring grab by Moss. On the next possession, the Bengals drove into Patriots territory, but Asante Samuel intercepted a Palmer pass at the Patriots’ 2-yard line to preserve the 17-7 lead going into halftime. After a Cincinnati punt to open the second half, the Patriots extended their lead to 24-7 on a 7-yard scoring run by Morris. The teams then embarked on three successive field goal drives – two by Cincinnati and one by New England – to leave the score at 27-13 midway through the fourth quarter. But the Patriots then went 85 yards on nine plays to put the game away on a 14-yard touchdown from Brady to Moss that made the score 34-13.

September 14, 2009 Gillette Stadium 1 2 3 4 Final Buffalo Bills 7 7 3 7 — 24 New England Patriots 0 10 0 15 — 25

Quarterback Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes to TE Benjamin Watson in the final two minutes of the game to rally the Patriots from a 24-13 deficit and give the team a 25-24 victory on Monday Night Football. The win was the Patriots’ 12th-straight against the Buffalo Bills.

Brady led the Patriots to victory following a fourth quarter deficit or tie for the 29th time in his career. On the final two scoring drives, he completed 11-of-13 passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns. After an 18-yard touchdown pass to Watson with 2:10 remaining to cap an 11-play, 81-yard drive that cut the deficit to 24-19, the comeback was aided by a huge special teams play on the ensuing kickoff. LB Pierre Woods forced a fumble on the return that was recovered by K Stephen Gostkowski at the Buffalo 31-yard line. Three plays later, Brady hit Watson for a 16-yard score and a 25-24 lead. Buffalo got the ball back with 45 seconds to play, but the Patriots defense held strong to secure the win.

Brady finished with 39 completions on 53 pass attempts for 378 yards. Wide receivers Randy Moss and Wes Welker each hauled in 12 catches for the Patriots, with each player tying the team’s fifth highest single-game reception total. Moss finished with 12 receptions for 141 yards, while Welker had 12 receptions for 93 yards.

The night did not get off to a great start for New England with the Patriots falling behind 14-10 at the half. After missing a 41-yard field goal attempt, Buffalo went on a 6-play, 68-yard drive that ended in a touchdown pass from QB Trent Edwards to TE Shawn Nelson. The Patriots tied the game on their first offensive series in the second quarter after RB Kevin Faulk converted two big third downs to keep alive a 14-play, 72-yard drive that ended in a 1-yard touchdown run by RB Fred Taylor. Any momentum the Patriots gained by that touchdown was killed on the next series when Brady’s pass attempt was intercepted and returned 26 yards for a score by Buffalo DE Aaron Schobel for a 14-7 lead. New England closed to 14-10 before the half, and was trailing 17-13 when the Bills took a 24-13 lead with 5:32 left in regulation.

ROBERT KRAFT NEWS & NOTES Since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994, the Patriots have experienced one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the history of sports. In 16 seasons of ownership, Kraft has transformed one of the league’s least successful clubs into what many observers view as a model NFL franchise. In the five seasons immediately preceding his purchase (1989-93), the Patriots were a moribund team, winning just 19 of 80 games (.311 pct.) and recording the worst record in the NFL over that span. When he bought the franchise on Jan. 21, 1994, Kraft announced his intention to bring a championship to New England, a tall order considering the team’s previous success rate. But under Kraft’s leadership, the Patriots have won nine division titles, five conference crowns and three Super Bowl championships. The Patriots have made five Super Bowl appearances since Kraft purchased the team, a period during which no other NFL franchise has earned more than three berths.

SELLOUT STREAK In the early 1990s, the Patriots seemed destined for relocation until Robert Kraft’s purchase of the team rejuvenated local interest. In 1991, the season ticket base was just 17,635, barely enough to support the club. Now, the season-ticket base stands at a capped total of 61,759 and more than 50,000 fans are on a waiting list. The Patriots have sold out 172 consecutive home games (dating back to the 1994 regular-season opener).

SUCCESS STORY Since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994, the Patriots have been one of the NFL’s elite franchises. Over the first 16 seasons of Kraft’s ownership, the Patriots own the NFL’s highest winning percentage and have won more Super Bowl titles, more conference championships and more playoff games than any other NFL team. The Patriots have now won 9 or more games in 13 of the 16 seasons that Robert Kraft has owned the team.

BILL BELICHICK NEWS & NOTES

THE HEAD COACH Overall Record: 163-97 (.627) Regular Season: 148-92 (.617) Postseason: 15-5 (.750) With Patriots overall: 126-52 (.708) Overall since 2001: 121-41 (.747) Super Bowl Titles: 5 (86, 90, 01, 03, 04) Conf. Titles: 7 (86, 90, 96, 01, 03, 04, 07) Division Titles: 14 (75, 78, 86, 89, 90, 96, 98, 01, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 09) Bill Belichick is the only head coach in NFL history to win three Super Bowl titles in a four-year span. He spent 20 years as an assistant coach in the NFL and this is his 16th season as a head coach. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, he is the only man in NFL history to serve 20 or more seasons as an assistant coach and at least 15 seasons as a head coach. Over a 100-game span from 2003-08, Belichick directed the team to an 82-18 record, marking the best 100-game span for any team in NFL history. In the 2007 season, Belichick led the Patriots to the fourth undefeated and untied regular season in the NFL’s 90-year history and the first since the NFL established a 16-game schedule in 1978. He has led the Patriots to the Super Bowl four times and has produced seven division championships, including five straight from 2003-07. Belichick’s Patriots teams own the all-time NFL records for consecutive total victories (21 from 2003-04), and established the record for consecutive regular-season victories (21 from 2006-08) and consecutive playoff victories (10 from 2001-05). Belichick owns the second-best postseason record in NFL history (15-5) and is the winningest NFL head coach since 2001 (121-41). From 2003-04, he directed the Patriots to back-to-back Super Bowl titles while posting consecutive 17-win campaigns. Belichick has spent more seasons in the league than any other current NFL head coach, and in that time has been a part of five Super Bowl championship teams. His overall record of 126-52 with the Patriots gives him the most victories and the best winning percentage of any head coach in franchise history.

ELITE COMPANY Bill Belichick is one of nine NFL head coaches to win three or more championships since the league began postseason play in 1933. With the Patriots’ victory in Super Bowl XXXIX, Belichick joined an exclusive club in which each of the eight other members has been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

WELKER’S ROUTE TO THE NFL Despite being named the Oklahoma football player of the year by both USA Today and the Daily Oklahoman, Wes Welker’s only scholarship offer came from Texas Tech, and only after a player that committed to Texas Tech backed out. “I was thinking I’d get a scholarship somewhere,” Welker said. “When it didn’t happen when it was supposed to I was pretty hurt by it.” Welker had an impressive collegiate career, accumulating 259 receptions and eight punts returned for touchdowns. He even won a national award as the best special teams player in the country. Despite those accolades, he was passed over in the 2004 NFL draft and signed with San Diego as a free agent. He made the team, then was cut after the first game. He signed with Miami soon after and was used just on special teams. He caught New England’s eye with a 71-yard punt return on Monday Night Football in a game against the Patriots. He was acquired by the Patriots in a trade with Miami in 2007.

Moss and Welker each hauled in 12 catches for the Patriots in the first meeting in 2009 against Buffalo (9/14), with each player tying the team’s fifth-highest single-game reception total. It is the first time in team history that two players have had at least 12 catches in the same game. The last time the Patriots had two or more players with at least 10 catches in the same game was on Nov. 13, 1994, when Leroy Thompson had 11 catches, Ben Coates had 10 and Michael Timpson had 10 catches in a 26-20 overtime win over Minnesota.

WILFORK WEARS HIS HEART ON HIS NECK Vince Wilfork wears No. 75 over his bulky shoulder pads. Underneath hangs a gold chain locket for those who were number one in his heart: his parents. In 2002, parents David and Barbara Wilfork both passed away within five months of each other, leaving the then University of Miami star without his greatest support system. Wilfork, who lost his father to diabetes, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for diabetes-related causes. His annual draft day fundraiser, a bowling event he has held for seven years, is one of the signature fundraising events held by a pro athlete in New England. For his charity work, Wilfork was awarded the 2010 New England Patriots Ron Burton Community Service Award. While he has many accomplishment on the football field and will always cherish his National Championship and Super Bowl rings, his constant reminder lies closest to his heart, a picture of his late parents at their high school prom. “I carry them with me wherever I go”, Wilfork said of his parents’ keepsake. “My parents pushed me to be the best I could be. The things I do and my wife does, we do out of the kindness of our heart, and we do it for the community. I never look for anything in return. My teammates are my second family. My kids, my wife, the New England Patriots – that’s all I have.”

ZOLTAN MESKO: COMING TO AMERICA Rookie P Zoltan Mesko was born in Timosoara, Romania, on the Romania-Hungary border. In 1989, during the communist revolutions, his family would survive by diving on the floor to avoid gun shots from the armies. Even after the fall of the Berlin Wall, his parents and he lived in poverty. His family was finally able to escape Romania when his father won a United States Permanent Resident Card (green card) in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery in 1997. At the age of 11, Mesko came to America. M

MESKO DISCOVERS FOOTBALL An avid soccer player from his days in Romania, Mesko had a strong leg. It was only when he came to America that he discovered his leg could take him places. In eighth grade, Mesko was playing kickball in the gym when he kicked the ball so high that he broke a light fixture. He was given a choice: pay for the light fixture or play football. With his family still struggling with money and football being a more popular sport than soccer at his school, the choice was an obvious one—Mesko decided to play football. His leg would land him numerous Division I Scholarships and admission offers from Ivy League schools. From these, Mesko chose to play football at Michigan. BALL

DOUBLE TROUBLE: CB DEVIN MCCOURTY After being selected by the Patriots in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft (27th overall), CB Devin McCourty became part of a select group in league history. McCourty’s identical twin brother, Jason, is a cornerback with the Tennessee Titans, selected in the sixth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. The two are now only the 11th set of twins to play in the NFL. Devin and Jason were cornerbacks in the Rutgers secondary from 2005-08. Devin redshirted for the 2005 season and therefore was a year behind his brother in eligibility. McCourty is the second twin to suit up for the Patriots, after CB Kato Serwanga was a member of the team from 1998-2000. His twin brother Wasswa played for San Francisco and Minnesota from 1999-2001. According to McCourty’s mother, the two can only be told apart by tiny scars on their faces left by chickenpox.

ALL IN THE FAMILY: TE ROB GRONKOWSKI Rookie TE Rob Gronkowski grew up playing football against his brothers in the backyard. Now, he has a chance to play against them in the NFL. Dan Gronkowski, the oldest of the bunch, is currently in his second season as a TE for the Denver Broncos, while 23-year old Chris is currently a rookie with the Dallas Cowboys as a fullback. The Gronkowski’s are among 21 different sets of brothers currently in the NFL, yet they are the only family that can claim to have three siblings in the league.

READ BETWEEN THE LINES The Patriots teamed up with Ahern Middle School in Foxborough on June 9 to introduce “Read Between the Lines,” a new program featuring Patriots offensive and defensive linemen to promote the school’s “Summer Reading Blitz.” Every student in attendance received a “Read Between the Lines” playbook and was encouraged to set their personal reading goals of at least two books this past summer. If the 923 students collectively read more than 2010 books over the summer, a Patriots offensive and defensive lineman will return in the fall for another assembly to reward the students. Any student who reads at least two books over the summer will also be entered into a drawing for an opportunity to have lunch following the assembly with one of the Patriots linemen.

THE TEAM OF THE DECADE hen Robert Kraft purchased the New England Patriots in 1994, few would have thought that just 16 years later the franchise would be the undisputed team of the decade in the first decade of the new millennium. Kraft brought a winning vision to the organization and dedicated his resources to building a consistent winner. On Jan. 27, 2000, Kraft hired Bill Belichick to coach the team, and three months later the team drafted then-unheralded quarterback Tom Brady, putting the final pieces in place for the Patriots to

become the most successful NFL team of the 2000s.
