Moss goes off

BALTIMORE – Randy Moss hasn’t said much in the media this season.

But last night, he had plenty to say.

The receiver, accused of loafing by ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski after New England’s win over Philadelphia, didn’t put up big numbers again last night, recording four catches for 34 yards and his 17th touchdown of the year.

But according to Moss, the Ravens’ coverage on him wasn’t totally on the up-and-up.

“Baltimore came out with a game plan that they were going to try and be physical and do a lot of talking, stuff like that. Coach Belichick doesn’t coach us or raise us that way,” he said. “So for us to come up and shut them up with a last-second touchdown, that’s what really felt good.”

Ravens safety Jamaine Winborne was whistled for holding on fourth down, giving New England first-and-goal at the 8. Jabar Gaffney scored the game-winning touchdown on the next play.

“There was just so much trash talking man, from guys who really haven’t done anything in the league,” Moss said. “So it was a good thing for the offense that Jabar Gaffney came up with a key catch, luckily, for six, and we shut them up. I’m not a trash talker. I talk with my play, not my mouth.”
