The New England Patriots offense hit from every angle and the New England defense held the high-powered Atlanta Falcons to just 10 points in a 26-10 victory in a steady rain in Foxborough. Quarterback Tom Brady threw for 277 yards, WR Randy Moss caught ten passes for 116 yards, and RB Fred Taylor gained 105 yards rushing. New England had 28 first downs, gained 445 yards in total offense and possessed the ball for 39:49. PK Stephen Gostkowski connected on four field goals, including three on drives inside the red zone. Taylor scored on an eight-yard run in the second quarter, and Brady became the 27th player to pass for 200 touchdowns on a 36-yard score to TE Chris Baker in the fourth quarter. After playing a competitive game for the first half, New England took control and dominated the rest of the way. Atlanta scored on two of its first three drives of the game, but possessed the ball for just over six minutes in the second half and gained only 78 yards of total offense against a stingy Patriots’ defense. New England held RB Michael Turner to 56 yards, TE Tony Gonzales to only one catch, and QB Matt Ryan to just 17 completions and no touchdowns. The Patriots took the lead in the second quarter after taking advantage of a shanked 29-yard punt that allowed a drive to begin at midfield. Taylor gained 41 yards, including a 19-yard run and an 8-yard touchdown run to cap a New England scoring drive that put them in front, 10-3. Atlanta tied the game at 10-10 on the next series by converting a fourth-and-three from the 34-yard line on their way to a 2-yard touchdown run by Turner. After stopping the Patriots on the next set of downs, Atlanta drove to the New England 31-yard line before S Brandon McGowan forced a fumble on a hard hit to Turner that was recovered by S James Sanders. New England responded by executing a 12-play, 58-yard drive that ended in a 33-yard field goal for a 13-10 halftime advantage. After adding a field goal for a 16-10 lead with their opening drive of the second half, head coach Bill Belichick called two fourth-down plays on a series that ended in another field goal early in the fourth quarter. Faced with a fourth-and-one from their own 24-yard line, RB Sammy Morris converted with a two-yard run up the middle. Later on the same drive the Patriots were faced with a fourth-and-three from the Atlanta 37-yard line. Brady completed a deep pass to Moss for a 21-yard gain to keep the drive alive. The conversions allowed New England to stretch a drive that went 16 plays, 70 yards and chewed up seven minutes off the play clock.

The New England Patriots opened the 2010 preseason with a 27-24 victory over the defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints at Gillette Stadium. First-year WR Darnell Jenkins caught a short pass from rookie QB Zac Robinson and turned the play into a 52-yard gain to the New Orleans 12-yard line with under two minutes to play to set up a game-winning 28-yard field goal by K Stephen Gostkowski.

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.

THE HEAD COACHOverall 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.

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

Randy Moss and Wes 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

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. 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.

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.

TOUGH AT HOME 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. In the franchise’s first 43 seasons, the Patriots never enjoyed an undefeated season at home. In the past eight seasons at Gillette stadium, the Patriots have celebrated four undefeated seasons (2003, 2004, 2007 and 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.

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 wouldbe 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, andthree 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.
