Historic Comeback

E. RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- If the Patriots hope to remain undefeated, they're going to have to stage their biggest comeback of the season.

Their 12-point deficit (28-16) six minutes into the third quarter is the Pats' largest of the season. What may be encouraging to New England fans is that the Patriots trailed by 10 with less than 10 minutes remaining at Indianapolis and pulled out the win.

What isn't encouraging is that Tom Brady now will have to throw against an even more aggressive Giants pass rush.
