Rob has been really productive for us all year. He’s had a great season. His production is right up there at the very top of the league at his position. He’s made big plays for us in the past – sacks, strips, fumbles, recovered fumbles, tackles for loss, all that. We know he’s got good hands. He’s had many interceptions before; made a great play there. We blitzed from the outside, he dropped down inside, got underneath the route and really made a great catch on the ball. It was high, tough catch but Rob’s a good athlete. He makes it look easy; he catches the ball well. That was a huge play for us, big stop and we were able to convert that into points offensively. That was a big key play in the game for us.

Personnel-wise, the key adjustment was inserting Hoomanawanui into the game for Gronkowski, and surprising Shane Vereen – who had a career day with three touchdowns – at running back for Woodhead. It wasn’t like the Patriots suddenly altered their personnel groupings; of the 59 snaps they ran after Gronkowski’s injury, 50 of them came with Hoomanawanui on the field in place of Gronkowski.

How big of a deal was it that J.J. Watt spit on the Patriots logo? – Not much, as it turns out. The All-Pro defensive end for the Houston Texans was just getting warmed up for the game, not entirely oblivious to where he was spitting, but unaware he was offending anyone. “I do that every game, home or away,” Watt said. "I go out to midfield, I jog out there, spit a little bit, wipe my feet off then go through my stretches. No drama there, that’s 100 percent what I do every game, home or away.” No need to take offense if none was intended.

Bill Belichick on Aqib Talib

Bill Belichick on Aqib Talib

Great game out of Talib and certainly one that bought him some leverage in contact talks this offseason. He could take another major step if he can shut down Torrey Smith next weekend.

Q: It looked like you matched up Aqib Talib with Andre Johnson. How beneficial is it to be able to match up a corner with a receiver like that?

BB: It was a great battle; it’s two good football players. Johnson is a great receiver. He’s arguably one or two all-time, he’s tremendous. He’s big, fast, has great hands, good route runner. Aqib competed with him every down, just like he did the first half of the first game. That’s two good football players and that’s a battle. We didn’t give him a lot of help. Johnson caught a few but Aqib battled him pretty well there. It was a good matchup.
