Patriots' postgame notes

From the New England PR staff:

HIGHEST POINT TOTAL IN 23 YEARS

The Patriots scored 48 points today, marking their highest point total since 1984. The last time the Patriots scored 48 points or more was on Nov. 18, 1984, when they defeated the Indianapolis Colts 50-17. The 48 points are tied for the sixth-highest single-game total in franchise history.

BRADY SETS CAREER-HIGH WITH FIVE TOUCHDOWN PASSES, TYING FRANCHISE RECORD

In his 100th career start, Tom Brady set a career high with five touchdown passes today, tying the Patriots single-game franchise record and becoming the first New England player to achieve the feat since Steve Grogan on Sept. 9, 1979. Vito “Babe” Parilli also threw five touchdowns in a game for the Patriots on two occasions – on Oct. 15, 1967 and on Nov. 15, 1964. Brady had previously thrown four touchdown passes in a game on six occasions, most recently on Sept. 23, 2007 against Buffalo.

BRADY SETS NFL RECORD WITH THREE OR MORE TOUCHDOWNS IN FIRST SIX GAMES

By virtue of his five touchdown passes today, Tom Brady has set a new NFL record by becoming the first player in league history to throw for three or more touchdowns in each of a season’s first six games. The previous record was set by San Francisco’s Steve Young, when he threw for three or more touchdowns in each of the first five games of the 1998 season. Brady has totaled 21 touchdown passes through six games in 2007. Brady has now thrown for three or more touchdowns 25 times in his regular season career and his six three-touchdown games in 2007 set a new career-high, besting his five three-touchdown games in 2002. Last season, Brady threw for three or more touchdowns in a game on two occasions.

BRADY’S 388 YARDS ARE HIGHEST NON-OVERTIME TOTAL OF CAREER

Tom Brady totaled 388 passing yards today, marking the second highest total of his career. His yardage total against the Cowboys trails only his career-high 410 yards in an overtime game against Kansas City on Sept. 22, 2002. Brady’s 388 yards against Dallas stand as the highest non-overtime total of his career. Brady was 31-for-46 on the day, and his 31 completions are his highest in more than a year, dating back to when he also completed 31 passes against Denver on Sept. 24, 2006.

BRADY: 21 TOUCHDOWN PASSES THIS SEASON, 167 FOR HIS CAREER

Tom Brady’s career-high five touchdown passes raised his season total to 21 touchdown passes and his career total to 168 touchdown passes. With his fourth touchdown of the day – a 1-yarder to Kyle Brady in the third quarter – Tom Brady passed Drew Bledsoe (166 touchdown passes) for second place on the Patriots’ all-time list. Steve Grogan is the Patriots’ all-time leader with 184 touchdown passes. Brady’s 21 touchdown passes this season mark the sixth consecutive season he has exceeded 20 touchdown passes. Brady’s six straight seasons with 20 or more touchdown passes is the longest streak in Patriots history, topping Drew Bledsoe’s three straight years with 20 or more touchdown passes from 1996-98. Brady’s single-season career high is 28 touchdown passes, achieved in 2002 and 2004. Last season, Brady totaled 24 touchdown passes.

STALLWORTH HAULS IN 69-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS

Donte’ Stallworth caught a 69-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots a 38-24 lead. The touchdown was the longest touchdown completion for the Patriots in nearly four years. The last time New England had a touchdown catch that long was on Oct. 19, 2003, when Troy Brown hauled in an 82-yard touchdown from Brady in overtime at Miami. Stallworth’s 69-yard play was the longest play from scrimmage for the Patriots this season and was the longest play from scrimmage for New England since Sept. 18, 2005, when Troy Brown caught a 71-yard pass from Brady in a game at Carolina. The 69-yard touchdown catch was Stallworth’s second of the season and the 30th of his career.

STALLWORTH TOTALS SECOND-HIGHEST YARDAGE TOTAL OF CAREER

Donte’ Stallworth recorded his first 100-yard game in a Patriots uniform, totaling 136 yards on seven catches (19.4 avg.). The yardage total is the second highest of Stallworth’s six-year career, trailing only his career-high 139 receiving yards (on six catches), for Philadelphia on Nov. 12, 2006 against Washington.

SEAU SETS CAREER HIGH FOR INTERCEPTIONS

With his fourth-quarter interception of Tony Romo, Junior Seau set a new single-season career high with his third interception of the season. Seau’s previous single-season high in his 18-year career was two interceptions, achieved six times, most recently in 2000. Last week against Cleveland, Seau tied his single-game career high with two interceptions.

WELKER SCORES TWO TOUCHDOWNS

Wes Welker set a career high with two touchdown receptions today, doubling his career total heading into the game. He hauled in a 35-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady in the first quarter to give the Patriots a 14-0 lead and then grabbed a 12-yard scoring pass to give the Patriots a 21-10 lead in the second quarter. The touchdown catches were the second and third of the season for Welker, who also snared an 11-yard scoring reception to cap off the Patriots’ opening drive of the season against the New York Jets on Sept. 9. Welker’s touchdown catches against the Cowboys raised his career receiving touchdown total to four. He also scored a touchdown on a kickoff return with the Miami Dolphins in 2004.

WELKER SETS CAREER HIGHS FOR RECEPTIONS AND RECEIVING YARDS

Wes Welker had a career-high 11 receptions for a career-high 124 yards, recording his first career 100-yard receiving game. His previous career high was 97 yards (on three receptions), achieved on Oct. 16, 2005 with the Miami Dolphins in a game at Tampa Bay. Welker’s 11 receptions are tied for the sixth-highest single-game total in Patriots history and are the most by a Patriot since Troy Brown caught 11 passes on Nov. 10, 2002 against the Chicago Bears at Memorial Stadium in Champaign, Ill. Welker's previous single-game career high for receptions was nine, acheived with the Dolphins against the Patriots at Gillette Stadium on Oct. 8, 2006.

FAULK MOVES INTO TOP TEN ON FRANCHISE RUSHING LIST

With his 50 rushing yards today, Kevin Faulk moved into 10th place on the Patriots’ all-time rushing list, passing Craig James’s total of 2,469 yards from 1984-88. Faulk finished the game with 2,498 rushing yards for the Patriots.

MOSS SCORES EIGHTH TOUCHDOWN OF THE SEASON

Randy Moss gave the Patriots a 7-0 lead on a 6-yard touchdown reception from Tom Brady on the Patriots’ opening drive of the game. The touchdown was Moss’s eighth of the season, making him the first Patriot since Ben Coates in 1997 to have eight or more scoring catches in a single season. The score was the 109th receiving touchdown of Moss’s career, a total that ranks fifth on the NFL’s all-time list. Moss has now caught a touchdown pass in five of New England’s six games this season.

BRADY-TO-BRADY TOUCHDOWN

Kyle Brady hauled in a 1-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady to give the Patriots a 28-24 lead with 4:56 remaining in the third quarter. The touchdown pass was Tom Brady’s fourth of the day (tying his single-game career high) and was his 20th of the season. For Kyle Brady, the touchdown was his first of the season and his first in a New England uniform after joining the team as a free agent in the offseason. Kyle Brady’s last touchdown came on Nov. 20, 2005 while playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee. The score raised Kyle Brady’s career touchdown total to 23, achieved with the New York Jets (1995-98), Jaguars (1999-2006) and Patriots (2007).

HARRISON IS ALL-TIME DEFENSIVE BACK SACK LEADER

Rodney Harrison sacked Tony Romo for an 11-yard loss on third down in the first quarter, moving the Cowboys back to their own 8-yard line and forcing a punt on the next play. The sack raised Harrison’s career total to 29.5 sacks, a mark that is the highest in NFL history for a defensive back dating to when sacks became an official statistic in 1982. Carnell Lake ranks second among NFL defensive backs with 25.0 career sacks. Harrison, who has also recorded 32 career interceptions, is the only player in NFL history to total at least 25 career sacks and at least 30 career interceptions.

QUICK HITS

Ø Fullback Kyle Eckel scored his first career touchdown, on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter that made the score 48-24.

Ø The Patriots converted 11-of-17 third-down chances, totaling a 65 percent conversion rate.

Ø The Patriots converted four-of-four third-down attempts on their opening drive of the game as they went 74 yards in 14 plays, ending in a 6-yard touchdown catch by Randy Moss on third down.

Ø Vince Wilfork tackled Julius Jones in the backfield for a 1-yard loss on first down in the first quarter.

Ø The Patriots have outscored their opponents 58-7 in the first quarter through six games this season, including their 14-0 performance against the Cowboys today.

GOSTKOWSKI’S SUCCESS STREAK

Stephen Gostkowski nailed a 45-yard field goal in the third quarter to give the Patriots a 31-24 lead. He has hit eight of his nine field goal attempts this season (88.9 percent) and has nailed 29 of his last 32 attempts (90.6 percent) dating back to Nov. 5, 2006, including a perfect 8-for-8 performance in last season’s playoffs.

STARTING STRONG

The Patriots scored first, taking a 7-0 lead on a 6-yard touchdown reception by Randy Moss in the first quarter. New England has scored on its opening drive in each game this season. New England has scored first in each of its six games this season and has achieved the feat in nine straight regular season and playoff games dating back to Jan. 7, 2007.

TWO-SCORE RECEIVER FOR FIFTH STRAIGHT GAME

With Wes Welker’s two-touchdown performance today, the Patriots have had a receiver catch a pair of touchdowns in five consecutive games. Last season, the Patriots did not have a player with two or more scoring catches in a game. Randy Moss caught two touchdowns on Sept. 16, Sept. 23 and Oct. 1. Benjamin Watson set a career high with two touchdown receptions last week against Cleveland. Before Moss’s two-score performance on Sept. 16, the last Patriot to catch two or more touchdowns in a game was linebacker Mike Vrabel, who hailed in two scores against the New York Jets on Dec. 26, 2005.

SIXTH STRAIGHT GAME WITH A 100-YARD RECEIVER

With 100-yard receiving days for Donte’ Stallworth and Wes Welker against the Cowboys, the Patriots had a 100-yard receiver for the sixth consecutive game, adding to a team record. The previous team record was four straight games with a 100-yard receiver — from Nov. 23 to Dec. 21, 1975, when Russ Francis, Randy Vataha, Don Calhoun and Andy Johnson each broke the 100-yard mark one time in a four-game span. In addition to Welker’s 100-yard game against the Cowboys, Randy Moss exceeded the 100-yard mark in each of the first four games of the 2007 season and Benjamin Watson achieved the feat last week against Cleveland.

Words From Wade

IRVING, Texas -- The Patriots certainly impressed Wade Phillips.
"Well, they are that good," the Cowboys coach said in his opening remarks at his post-game press conference. "We worried about that passing attack. They are an outstanding team, with tremendous match-up problems for any defense. They're a great football team. I think anybody can see that."
With Tom Brady throwing for a franchise-record-tying five touchdowns, the Patriots racked up 373 net yards through the air and remained undefeated by trouncing the previously undefeated Cowboys, 48-27, in Texas Stadium.
"They killed us on third down the whole game," said Phillips, noting that the Pats were 11-of-17 on third down, while the Cowboys were only 4-of-11. "We tried about everything we could do -- almost every coverage, every blitz. They just seem to have the right answer for everything."
Phillips gave credit for that to Brady.
"He does a great job distributing the ball to a lot of different people," Phillips said.
Phillips said he wasn't surprised the game turned into a shoot-out.
"I knew it wasn't going to be nothing-to-nothing," he said. "We flet like we cold score on them, and we did score some. We knew they would be tough to hold down, and we knew they would throw it a whole lot."
Coming into the game as the only undefeated team in the NFC, the Cowboys knew their matchup with the unbeaten Patriots would be a measuring stick.
As it turned out, Dallas didn't measure up.
"We wanted to be one of the elite teams," said Phillips, "but, obviously, we're not. For them to come in to our place and beat us like that shows that we've got a lot of work to do.
"They're an outstanding football team, but we've got a ways to go. It's a wake-up call for us."

BRADY SETS NFL RECORD WITH THREE OR MORE TOUCHDOWNS IN FIRST SIX GAMES

By throwing three touchdown passes as of halftime today, Tom Brady has set a new NFL record by becoming the first player in league history to throw for three or more touchdowns in each of a season’s first six games.

As of halftime, Brady has totaled 19 touchdown passes through six games in 2007. Brady has now thrown for three or more touchdowns 25 times in his regular season career and his six three-touchdown games in 2007 set a new career-high, besting his five three-touchdown games in 2002. Last season, Brady threw for three or more touchdowns in a game on two occasions.

With that touchdown pass to Wes Welker -- Welker's second TD of the day -- Tom Brady has broken the record he shared with 49ers QB Steve Young.

With three touchdown passes in the game, Brady is now the only player in league history to record three or more passing touchdowns in six games at the start of the season. Brady tied Young's mark at five games last week against the Browns.

Running To Set Up The Pass

IRVING, Texas -- Many times, teams struggle to pass the ball if they're not running well. That's not the case this afternoon for the Patriots.
Although Sammy Morris has rushed for only 12 yards on 9 carries, Tom Brady has completed 16 of 27 passes for 213 yards and 3 TDs -- two to Wes Welker and one to Randy Moss.

First Possession Success

Randy Moss and Donte Stallworth celebrate Moss' first-quarter touchdown today in Texas.

IRVING, Texas -- As they have in every game so far this season, the Patriots scored on their first possession.
Converting four times on third down, the Pats drove 74 yards to a touchdown in 14 plays and 5:29, the score coming on a 6-yard pass from Tom Brady to Randy Moss -- his league-leading, 8th TD catch of the year.
Brady and Moss just missed connecting on a TD bomb on the first play of the game, when, after faking a handoff on a reverse to Wes Welker, Brady overthrew Moss going deep down the middle of the field.
The Pats scored TDs on their opening drives in their first two games, against the Jets and Chargers, and have kicked field goals on their opening drives in the past three games.

Maroney among inactives

So Laurence Maroney is indeed a game-time decision, as Bill Belichick indicated on Friday, as the running back is on the list of today's inactives for New England.

Maroney had been on the field in early warmups, wearing uniform pants, and running sprints with members of the strength and conditioning staff.

Texas Tales

IRVING, Texas -- Does it strike anyone else as at least mildly amusing that America's Team plays, not in Dallas -- the fabled "Big D" -- but in Irving?
Irving?
What, there was no land available to build a stadium in Earl? Or Marvin?
You have to know that there is no way there ever would have been a wildly-popular, prime-time TV drama entitled "Irving." And, surely, J.R. Ewing would have shot himself before living in Irving.
I'm showing my age now, but the first game I covered here was the final one of the 1976 season. I was working in Richmond, VA, then, and was sent to Dallas to see the Redskins play the Cowboys. Tom Landry was coaching the Cowboys then, and Roger Staubach was the QB. Dallas was 11-2 at the time, but the Redskins, with Billy Kilmer at QB, and coached by George Allen, pulled off a 27-14 upset that put them in the playoffs.
To digress for a moment . . . that playoff game was the following weekend, at Minnesota. The Vikings won, after which I went to my hotel, within walking distance of the old Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington (also the home of the Twins, that stadium has since been torn down and the massive Mall of America has been built on the site) and watched the second half of the Patriots playoff game in Oakland. That was the game in which referee Ben Dreith called the infamous, roughing-the-passer penalty on Ray "Sugar Bear" Hamilton that set up the game-winning TD by the Raiders.
Getting back to Dallas . . .
The Patriots actually played the first game ever in Texas Stadium. That was on Oct. 24, 1971, and the Cowboys, not surprisingly, won, 44-21.
The first time I came here with the Pats was on Thanksgiving Day, 1984, when, even though Craig James -- who played his college football in Dallas, teaming with Eric Dickerson in SMU's ``Pony Express" backfield -- rushed for 112 yards on 19 carries, the Cowboys prevailed, 20-17.
Although James had played for Ron Meyer at SMU, it wasn't until Meyer was fired midway through the '84 season, and Raymond Berry took over, that James became the Patriots' featured ballcarrier. The following year, James rushed for 1,227 yards on 263 carries as the Patriots made it to the Super Bowl for the first time.
In the 1996 game the Pats played here -- a 12-6 Cowboys victory -- the most memorable play came when then-rookie kicker Adam Vinatieri ran down Herschel Walker to prevent him from returning a kickoff for a touchdown.
This will the last game the Patriots play here. The Cowboys will move into a state-of-the-art stadium, with a retractable roof, in Arlington for the 2009 season. Super Bowl XLV is scheduled to be played there on Feb. 6, 2011.

Belichick strolling the field

As several of his players have begun their warmups, Bill Belichick is walking on the field here at Texas Stadium, still clad in his "travel clothes", a light-brown suit and tie, hands in his pockets.

He walked over to Matt Light (questionable, flu) and was chatting up the left tackle before walking off the field.

UPDATE: Maroney on the field - in uniform pants

In what can only be viewed as a positive sign, Laurence Maroney is on the field here -- in silver Patriots' uniform pant -- taking a lap around the field.

Bill Belichick said on Friday that the running back, who is dealing with a tender groin, would be a game-time decision.

UPDATE: After doing some sprints the width of the field, Maroney chatted with the three members of the Pats' strength and conditioning team -- Mike Woicik, Harold Nash, and Don Davis -- and then ran a sprint a couple of sprints with Nash and Davis. From where we are, Maroney looks like he's moving well...

Welcome to Big D

Hey all --

We are here inside Texas Stadium, and frustrated because the wireless internet was so slow that we didn't get to make changes to our fantasy team in time. But, the lilmamas are 0-5 in the Passaic County league (old college friend), so it's up for debate whether the changes would have mattered...

Anyway, there's not much happening inside the stadium right now; there are no players on the field just yet, just game ops people and security personnel.

We'll be back with more shortly.
