NFL Notes

The response from the team, they went out and defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road to take first place in the division. Follow both stories below.

One - Peter King writes, "No matter which way you dissect it, Bill Belichick made the wrong call." Indeed. Why did Bill Belichick go for it on fourth-and-2 deep in his own end of the field with 2:08 left? The Pats led by six points, 34-28 and the simple fact is that the coach didn't trust his defense. Bonehead call - Belichick blew it. Video here, including player and coaches interviews from ESPN Boston.


Two - He always is desperate for attention and now it will cost him $20K. Chad Ochocinco was "reprimanded by the NFL for taking a dollar bill onto the field during an officials' review of one of his catches last Sunday." More here on the fine from the Boston Globe.
