Vince Wilfork Comes up Big in Patriots Win

Found January 23, 2012 on Musket Fire:
PLAYERS: Vince Wilfork,  Tom Brady
TEAMS: New England Patriots

News__january_f9a1
On a day when Tom Brady wasn’t at his best the Patriots needed other members of the team to step up. The entire defense picked up the slack, particularly defensive lineman Vince Wilfork. Wilfork, in his eighth season with the team, has become a three-down lineman the past few years, as he was primarily used just on first and second downs earlier in his career. Sunday was undoubtedly one of the best games of Wilfork’s career. “I think tonight was a big night for all of us,” Wilfork said during the trophy presentation. “The fans, the organization, the coaches, the players. Everyone. It was a big, big night for us. We knew we had to come out here and play some good football to beat a good Ravens football team, and we did.” … [visit site to read more] Vince Wilfork Comes up Big in Patriots Win - Musket Fire - Musket Fire - A New England Patriots Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.
