Rob Ninkovich: Patriots dynasty is ‘gone’

The New England Patriots have only three players remaining on their current roster from the last time they won a Super Bowl. Tom Brady and Vince Wilfork will still be with the team next season, while Deion Branch is set to become a free agent. Yet, for some reason, there are still people who refer to the current team as a dynasty. The Patriots team that won three Super Bowls in four...

Ninkovich finds niche with Patriots

Rob Ninkovich invokes memories of storied New England Patriots linebackers Mike Vrabel and Tedy Bruschi with his penchant for game-changing plays. The New Orleans Saints didn't think he was good enough to play defense for their team. How could two franchises -- successful ones at that -- look at the same player and have completely opposite talent assessments? It's another...

Pats DE Ninkovich has nose for finding the ball

Rob Ninkovich has a knack for forcing fumbles. He's also pretty good at recovering them. He even does both on the same play. ''That's hustle,'' Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty said. ''Rob's a guy whose engine's always going.'' It was really revving last Sunday when the defensive end dropped into the middle of the field late...

Is Rob Ninkovich the Patriots defensive MVP?

You could say the AFC Divisional round game between the New England Patriots and the Houston Texans came down to one play. With 4:20 left in the 3rd quarter, the Texans were going on a dangerous looking drive. The score was 24-13 to New England, and a touchdown would have made things very interesting heading into the 4th. Then, up pops Rob Ninkovich. The defense throws Matt Schaub different...

Gap between Texans, Pats only widens

The New England Patriots maintained their conference headlock on the Houston Texans for the second time in five weeks, and Sunday's 41-28 divisional victory at Gillette Stadium went largely as the defending AFC champs had planned.

Too many weapons, Patriots move on to AFC Championship

Stevan Ridley kicks in the door for a touchdown in Sunday’s win I usually like to find a key to a football game. Sometimes it is a player that went above and beyond what is expected of him to have a big day. For the New England Patriots on Sunday, that would be second-year running back Shane Vareen who quickly became a match-up nightmare for the Houston Texans. In his replacement...
