defending NFC champion Giants.

38-35 score to cap off the first 16-0 regular season in NFL
history.
February 3, 2008— The Patriots faced the Giants in Super

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.
BOODEN AND GUYTON RETURN TO ACTION
CB Leigh Bodden and LB Gary Guyton made their 2010
preseason debuts after missing the first two preseason games.

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 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.

Coach Belichick has recorded 163 career wins and is one of 15
coaches in NFL history to win 160 or more games. Belichick
owns a career winning percentage of .627, which is fifth all-time,
behind George Halas (.682), Don Shula (.666), Curly Lambeau
(.630) and Joe Gibbs (.629).
TOP WINNING PERCENTAGE AMONG HEAD COACHES
WITH AT LEAST 150 WINS (INCL. POSTSEASON)
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 alltime NFL records for consecutive total victories (21 from 200304), 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.

streak had been the longest streak in the NFL. The Patriots
finished +6 in 2009, which was tied for eighth in the NFL. The
Patriots are +76 since 1997. Below is a turnover table since the
1997 season.

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
The Patriots own an overall record of 59-13 (.819) at Gillette
Stadium. Since their state-of-the-art facility opened at the
beginning of the 2002 season, the Patriots own the NFL’s best
record at home.
BEST HOME RECORDS SINCE 2002
Since the start of the 2000 season, the Patriots have the third
best road record with a 51-29 record, behind Indianapolis. (5525) and Philadelphia. (51-28-1), despite a 2-6 road record in
2009.

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
W
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.
