* ESPNBoston.com’s Tedy Bruschi: It’s Monday night, national television, all of America watching. This is a game in which the New England Patriots are going to make a statement. I think the defense is going to come out and play well. Even though they beat the Bills and they’re all saying the right things, I think they know they have something to prove. This is a game when we will finally stop talking about the defense playing poorly and not rising up big games, such as the playoff loss to Baltimore and last year’s Monday night game in New Orleans. I think the Patriots win a three-point game.
