Pats are 17-0: Chargers Next

Patriots 17-0
So the Pats took another step towards the Super Bowl (and a perfect season) by beating the Jags in Foxboro yesterday. Brady set another record too, for good measure, this time setting the passing accuracy mark at 92.9% surpassing the previous bests of 91.3% in a regular season game held by Vinny Testaverde and 88% in a playoff game held by Phil Simms (who was a commentator in the booth, by the way).

Moss was essentially a non-factor, though his one catch was a 4th down conversion to keep the first drive alive. I thought lots of players stepped up (as is usually the case), though I give special recognition to our running backs, particularly Kevin Faulk. He may not have had 100 yards like Maroney, but he made big plays when we needed them, and in my opinion is the most underrated part of the Patriots' offense.

Next in line: the Chargers, whom the Pats have beaten once this year already. They just put the finishing touches on a victory over the Colts in Indy, where Peyton Manning and company couldn't find a way to stop a San Diego offense that lost both Phillip Rivers and LaDanian Tomlinson during the game. Nice...

Adam Vinatieri, I told you you were making a mistake.
