Halftime at Gillette Stadium: Patriots 17, Colts 3

Found December 04, 2011 on The Rap Sheet:
PLAYERS: Rob Gronkowski,  BenJarvus Green-Ellis,  Tom Brady,  Wes Welker,  Chad Ochocinco,  Dan Orlovsky,  Joseph Addai
TEAMS: New England Patriots,  Indianapolis Colts

New-england-patriots-new
It’s not the lop-sided affair that many expected. AT least, not yet. After 30 minutes of play, it’s Patriots 17, Colts 3. It was a slow start for the Patriots, getting an early field goal, then standing for 10 minutes as the Colts kept the ball on a lengthy field goal drive. Finally, tied at 3, they got it together. Using their hurry-up look, they drove 86 yards in 16 plays, taking a 10-3 lead thanks to an 11-yard score by TE Rob Gronkowski and his epic spike. After a brutally terrible three-and-out for the Colts, the Pats ruled the two-minute drive to go up 17-3 after a BenJarvus Green-Ellis 1-yard score to cap a 64-yard march. QB Tom Brady is 16 of 21 for 158 yards and a TD, while Wes Welker has five catches for 67 yards. Gronkowski has three catches for 34 yards. Oh, and Chad Ochocinco has a 12-yard catch. He also couldn’t come up with a long one on the sidelines.  As for the Colts, Dan Orlovsky is 7 of 11 for 73 yards, and RB Joseph Addai has nine rushes for 18...
