NEW ENGLAND TIES In the decades leading up to the founding of the American Football League in 1960, many football fans in New England followed the Giants, a franchise founded in 1925. New England-based NFL outfits such as the Providence Steam Roller (1925-31), the Boston Redskins (1932-36) and the Boston Yanks (1944-48) folded or moved away, leaving the Giants as the closest NFL team to New England until the Patriots franchise inaugurated play in the 1960 season.

LAST WEEK: PATRIOTS-RAMS RAMS 36, PATRIOTS 35

August 26, 2010 Gillette Stadium 1 2 3 4 Final St. Louis Rams 7 13 7 9 — 36 New England Patriots 7 7 7 14 — 35

St. Louis kicked a field goal at the buzzer to give the Rams a 36-35 victory over the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots had rallied from a 27-14 deficit to a 35-27 lead on QB Tom Brady's touchdown passes of 65 yards to WR Randy Moss and QB Brian Hoyer’s 5-yarder to WR Sam Aiken with 11:14 left in regulation. Hoyer’s go-ahead touchdown pass was set up by an interception from S Brandon McGowan that was returned 38 yards to the St. Louis 10-yard line. The Rams fought back with a touchdown and a field goal in the final five minutes to claim the win. Other than Brady, who completed 18 of 22 passes for 273 yards, and rookie tight end Rob Gronkowski, who caught two of Brady's three touchdown passes, the Patriots struggled for most of the night. St. Louis led in time of possession, 43:46 to 16:14, and in offensive yards, 462-288. The Patriots' offense didn't get a first down until 3:10 remained in the first half and finished with 12. Their defense gave up 30. The Patriots grabbed the lead when WR Brandon Tate took the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. With the starting units playing until the fourth quarter, the Patriots appeared to re-group from the rough start when they scored on four consecutive series, from the last possession in the first half through the first in the second half. St. Louis QB Sam Bradford, the first pick in the 2010 NFL, draft was 15-of-22 for 189 yards with two touchdown passes to rookie TE Michael Hoomanawanui to help the Rams take a 17-7 lead in the second quarter. WR Wes Welker made his first start of the preseason and finished with two receptions for 41 yards. Gronkowski made the highlight reel when he caught a pass from Brady and dragged a defender the final five yards before reaching over the goal line for a touchdown that closed the gap to 20-14 at halftime. St. Louis was 11-of 17 on third downs and converted a fourth-down attempt in the fourth quarter to set up a touchdown.

BRADY PLAYS WELL QB Tom Brady started the game and played through the first series of the fourth quarter. He finished 18-of-22 (81.8 percent) for 273 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of 158.0. In his regular season career, Brady has only had a better passer rating once – on Oct. 21, 2007 at Miami, when he posted the only perfect rating of his career (158.3).

BRADY TO MOSS Brady completed a 65-yard touchdown pass to WR Randy Moss in the third quarter. Last season, Brady had three touchdown passes of 60 or more yards, including a season-long of 81 yards to WR Sam Aiken at Miami (12/6/09).

MOSS GOES LONG Moss caught three passes for a team-high 74 yards, including a 65-yard touchdown pass. In 186 career regular season games, Moss has 16 touchdown catches of 60 or more yards and 22 receptions of 60 or more yards. Last season Moss had a 71-yard touchdown vs. Miami (11/8/09) and a 63-yard touchdown at Indianapolis (11/15/09).

BRANDON TATE SCORES ON A 97-YD KICKOFF RETURN

WR Brandon Tate opened the game with a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. The last time the Patriots returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown in a regular-season game was on Dec. 5, 2004, when WR Bethel Johnson had a 93-yard kickoff return at Cleveland. The last time the Patriots returned a kickoff for a touchdown in the regular-season was when CB Ellis Hobbs had a 95-yard kickoff return at Oakland on Dec. 14, 2008. Tate holds the NCAA career record in combined kick and punt return yards. He also holds the ACC career records for career kickoff returns and kickoff return yards.

PRESEASON RETURNS Tate’s 97-yard kickoff return is the third return of 50 yards or more for New England in the 2010 preseason. Rookie CB Devin McCourty had a 52 yard return and a 50 yard return in the first preseason game vs. New Orleans (8/12).

GRONKOWSKI SCORES TWICE Rookie TE Rob Gronkowski finished the game with two touchdown receptions and leads the team with three touchdowns in the 2010 preseason. He caught a touchdown pass for the second straight week when he caught a short pass from Tom Brady in the second quarter and dragged a defender the final five yards to the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown. He also had a 20-yard touchdown catch from Brady in the fourth quarter. At Atlanta, Gronkowski caught a 24-yard pass from backup QB Brian Hoyer in the fourth quarter.

MCGOWAN INTERCEPTION SETS UP A SCORE S Brandon McGowan intercepted a pass by Rams QB Thaddeus Lewis in the fourth quarter and returned it 38 yards to give the Patriots possession at the Rams’ 10-yard line, setting up a short New England touchdown drive. McGowan has two career interceptions in regular season play, both while playing for Chicago in 2007.

A BACKUP PLAN Backup QB Brian Hoyer entered the game in the fourth quarter and completed one of three passes for five yards and a touchdown. Hoyer hit WR Sam Aiken for a 5-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots a 35-27 lead.

PATRIOTS SCORE ON FOUR STRIGHT DRIVES The Patriots scored touchdowns on four consecutive drives, reaching the end zone on their final full offensive possession of the first half and scoring touchdowns on their first three drives of the second half.

MCCOURTY AND SPIKES START AGAIN For the third straight week first-round pick CB Devin McCourty and second-round pick LB Brandon Spikes started on defense.

WELKER RETURNS TO STARTING LINEUP WR Wes Welker returned to the starting lineup against the Rams and caught two passes, including a 39-yarder. Welker made his 2010 preseason debut in Week 2 at Atlanta.

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. Pre-Kraft Kraft Era 1960-93 1989-93 1994-09 Overall Record 225-276-9 19-61 183-98 Winning Pct. .450 .311 .651 Super Bowl Titles 0 0 3 Conference Titles 1 0 5 Division Titles 3 0 9 Playoff Seasons 6 0 11 Playoff Record 4-6 -- 17-8 Home Playoff Games 1 0 12 Home Playoff Record 0-1 -- 11-1

A CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION The Patriots, the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs are the only teams from the four major professional sports leagues to have won at least three titles since 2001.

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 171 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.

WELKER TIES NFL RECORD FOR FEWEST INDIVIDUAL GAMES PLAYED TO

REACH 100 RECEPTIONS Welker reached 100 receptions in his 11th game of the 2009 season to tie Marvin Harrison for the fewest individual games played to reach 100 receptions in a season in NFL history. Harrison caught 100 passes in his first 11 games of the 2002 season en route to an NFL-record 143 catches. (Welker missed two games in 2009 due to injury).

WELKER GOES OVER 100 YARDS Welker had a career-high six 100-yard games in 2009 and has 14 for his career. His previous high for most 100-yard games in a season was four in 2007 and 2008.

MOSS AND WELKER: FIRST TIME IN PATS HISTORY TWO PLAYERS HAVE 12 CATCHES

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. MOSS AND WELKER GO THREE STRAIGHT YEARS

WITH 1,000 YARDS EACH Welker and Moss became the first Patriots players to have three straight 1,000-yard seasons (2007-09). It is the sixth time in NFL history a team has had two players go three straight seasons with 1,000 yards. Moss was part of another tandem to accomplish the feat from 1998-2000.

CALLING ALL CAPTAINS Many Patriots once served as team captains while playing in college, but did you know that certain NCAA schools have named more than one current Patriots player or coach as a captain during its history? QB Tom Brady, P Zoltan Mesko and Defensive Backs Coach Corwin Brown were all selected as captains while playing at the University of Michigan, while RB Fred Taylor, DL Gerard Warren and LB Brandon Spikes all served as co-captains at the University of Florida during their respective tenures. Additionally, the University of North Carolina was proud to have WR Sam Aiken and TE Alge Crumpler as captains during their time with the Tar Heels, and RB Sammy Morris and WR Wes Welker led the Red Raiders as captains while at Texas Tech.

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. OTBALL

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 Detroit Lions, while 23-year old Chris is currently in camp with the Dallas Cowboys as a fullback. The Gronkowski’s are among 27 different sets of brothers currently in the NFL, yet they are the only family that can claim to have three siblings in the league. If both Rob and Dan make their respective rosters, the two would match-up against one another this Thanksgiving when the Patriots travel to Detroit on Thursday, November 25.

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.
