MERIWEATHER INTERCEPTION

HERNANDEZ CAN RUSH
TE Aaron Hernandez had his first NFL rushing attempt with a 13-yard run in the first quarter. It is the longest rush by a tight end in Patriots history, besting an 11-yard run by TE Ben Watson vs. Cleveland on Oct. 7, 2007.

WELKER EXTENDS STREAK
Wes Welker extended his streak to 66 straight regular-season games with at least one reception. He has caught at least one pass in each of his 52 games with the Patriots, including three postseason games.

Brady’s 233 career touchdown passes moves him past Hall of Fame QB Steve Young (232) into 19th place on the NFL’s all-time touchdown list. George Blanda is in 18th place with 236 career touchdown passes.

BRADY HAS SECOND THREE-TOUCHDOWN GAME OF 2010
Brady had his second 3-touchdown game of the 2010 season. He also had a 3-touchdown game in the season-opener vs. Cincinnati.

The last time the Patriots lost a regular-season home game in which Brady started was on Nov. 12, 2006 against the New York Jets. Brady’s home winning streak is the longest streak since QB John Elway of the Denver Broncos won 22 consecutive regular-season starts at home from Sept. 1, 1996 through Dec. 27, 1998. The NFL record for most consecutive home wins by a starting quarterback since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger is held by Brett Favre, who won 25 straight home games for Green Bay from Sept. 17, 1995 through Oct. 5, 1998.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran 16 times for 98 yards and a touchdown, marking the second highest single-game rushing total of his career. Green-Ellis set a career high with 105 rushing yards on 26 carries on Nov. 9, 2008 against Buffalo.

BRADY POSTS SOLID NUMBERS
Tom Brady compiled a passer rating of 142.6, completing 21-of-27 passes (77.8 percent) for 252 yards and three touchdowns.

RB DANNY WOODHEAD MAKES FIRST NFL START AND SCORES FIRST NFL TOUCHDOWN
Newly acquired RB Danny Woodhead made his first NFL start on offense and scored his first NFL touchdown on a 22-yard run in the second quarter. Woodhead finished the game with three rushes for 42 yards.
