Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib has left Monday night’s game against the Houston Texans with a hip injury. The Patriots say Talib is questionable to return. Talib was hurt when he dived to knock away a pass across the middle late in the first half. The Patriots acquired Talib from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last month while he was serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. He had a 59-yard interception return for a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 18, his first game for New England. Source: Associated Press Attached Thumbnails

Via Patriots Life  |  December 10, 2012
It's no secret that New England Patriots wide receiver Brandon Lloyd has been criticized quite heavily in his first season with the team and I certainly can't exclude myself from that group of criticizers.

Wilfork leads impressive showing by Patriots' defense

Via AFC East Daily  |  December 11, 2012
The New England Patriots' offense went off on the Houston Texans Monday night, but their defense was impressive, as well. The Patriots held the Texans' usually high-powered offense to a 4-for-16 conversion rate on third and fourth downs and kept it completely out of the end zone until the game was well out of hand.

Pats offensive balance a challenge for Texans

Via AP on Fox  |  December 09, 2012
Stevan Ridley has emerged as a top running back in his second pro season. He's not the only Patriots rusher Texans coach Gary Kubiak has to worry about. The revived New England ground game, with Shane Vereen and Brandon Bolden as backups, has brought balance to an offense that relied more heavily on quarterback Tom Brady in recent years. Ridley, in his second pro season, is...
