What an individual matchup this game presents: A top candidate for Defensive Player of the Year trying to hunt down one of the leading contenders for Most Valuable Player. How often do you get to see two of the NFL’s finest go head-to-head, with each going out of his way to game plan for the other. That’s what it’ll be when Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt lines up across from New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. There are mind games to be played, just like when Brady squares off against elite secondary talents like Ed Reed or Darrelle Revis. Will he throw away from Watt’s ever-swatting hands? Or try to go through them? In a broader sense, it’s worth asking if the Patriots’ suddenly balanced offense is the perfect machinery to toss at a Texans defense that has shown signs of faltering. On the other side, have the Patriots seen an offense as balanced as Houston’s unit, starring RB Arian Foster and WR Andre Johnson? A showdown of epic proportion, perfect for the spotlight game on Monday night. Week 14 certainly saves the best for last

Brandon Lloyd a victim of Patriots’ game plan, not poor performance – Patriots – Boston.com

As always the final word on the Dolphins game from Bedard’s breakdown. Lots of good stuff, including an explanation on Brandon Lloyd’s lack of production last weekend, which seems to be the flavor of the moment to complain about (Bostonians have to find something, right!?).

While he hasn’t been Moss — no one should have expected him to be — Lloyd has been a viable boundary threat. Lloyd has caught 50 passes, which is as many as Vincent Jackson of the Buccaneers, who signed a five-year, $55.6 million contract in the offseason. The Bills’ Stevie Johnson (55), and Davone Bess (56), and Brian Hartline (60) of the Dolphins are the only other AFC East receivers to have as many receptions as Lloyd. None of them play in an offense with Wes Welker (92 catches), Rob Gronkowski (53 in 10 games), and Aaron Hernandez (27 in six games).
