How ‘bout those Patriots, eh? After a weird one last night the Patriots leave Arizona with a win, a 7-6 record and wild-card spot No. 7 in the playoffs. The Pats started the night short-handed and were scraping the bottom of the depth chart before they were halfway through. Missing the top two wide receivers, top two running backs, and starting right tackle as well as two defensive backs, is no way to go through an NFL game and come out ahead. Touchdowns by RBs Kevin Harris, Pierre Strong Jr, and LB Raekwon McMillan were celebrated, but certainly not expected by anyone previewing this matchup last week.
