Patriots beat Rams 40-22
Adam Vinatieri beat the St. Louis Rams with his leg in the 2002 Super Bowl. This time, he used his leg and his arm. Man this guy is money.
The Patriots’ kicker hit a season-best four field goals, then threw his first career touchdown pass on a fake to help New England bounce back from its only loss of the year with a 40-22 victory Sunday.
Corey Dillon returned after a one-week absence with 112 yards rushing on 25 carries and a touchdown for the Patriots, whose 21-game winning streak ended in a loss to Pittsburgh last week.
Brady was 18-for-31 for 234 yards and the first of his two touchdown passes also was an oddity with linebacker Mike Vrabel on the receiving end of a 2-yard play in the second quarter. Vrabel has three career touchdown receptions, one of them coming in the Super Bowl last season.
