00:00Terry ready to kick off one problem for the Patriots they have given up kick return yards
00:05and a Terry hits a high spinning kick that will carry short
00:08running down with the ball to Sean Bryson a big bat from Tennessee
00:11and he breaks it across the 30 yard line and gets to the 31
00:1616 yard return on the play as we look at Alex Van Pelt
00:21in his ninth year in the NFL out of Pittsburgh broke a lot of Dan Marino's
00:25passing records at the University of Pittsburgh
00:27and has a quarterback rating as a starter for the Bills of over 80
00:31he's been a steadying influence Don and I think more so than anything he's
00:35more well versed in this West Coast offense and he gets rid of the ball on time
00:40and he then makes quick drops makes quick decisions and that's the reason he's been more effective moving the team
00:46so the Bills go and just across their 30 yard line
00:50takes the pitch makes the throw a drop ball of the 43 yard line to his best receiver Eric Moulds
01:02who in the first meeting against the Patriots Moulds was held to three catches for just seven yards
01:08if you look at the Bills offensive front Feena and Brown on the left side the veterans
01:12now Strausky's been a big help since he's come back
01:14his presence has really solidified the offensive line in the last three weeks
01:17Travis Henry a rookie runner from Tennessee is coming off a 100 yard rushing game and the win over Carolina last week
01:24on second and 10 Van Pelt hands off to Travis Henry and he drives the Patriot defense on his right side
01:32and the Patriots who give up yards grudgingly Cleveland got only 51 yards rushing against them last week
01:38the stop made by rookie Richard Seymour the number one draft choice who's playing very well
01:43the whole defense is playing well
01:46Brewski has moved to the middle because of the injury to Ted Johnson
01:49Brable and Pfeiffer two veterans have been terrific on the outside
01:53Bucky Jones going at free safety he intercepted the first pass of Tim Couch last week
01:58that's Romeo Cronell the defensive coordinator he coaches a very physical defense
02:03if you lose to the Patriots it may well count too because you'll be hurt next week as well
02:07a lot of teams have been losing the next week after they play the Patriots they're beat up
02:11here's the throw and a tip ball as getting a hand on the ball was Mike Brable
02:16former all-american defensive end at Ohio State who came in here as a free agent in New England
02:21he's intercepted two this year and he's also has three sacks he's been a very sound
02:26influence on the left outside one of the things about this Patriot team is they've got a lot of
02:31veteran backups the guys came in signed one-year deals their guys Belichick knows like Brian Cox
02:36David Patton guys like that and it has really made a difference for this Patriot team
02:40now the Bills three and out so they punt the ball Troy Brown and Kevin Falk are back Troy Brown the leading punt
02:48returner in the American Conference it's Falko is going to field it back at the 14 yard line
02:55and a very strong special teams played by Reggie Germany a rookie from Ohio State number eighty four
03:01fifty one yard punt by Moorman and no return
03:04and there is Tom Brady one of the great new stories in the NFL
03:11through all of three passes last season as a rookie and now he's one of the leading passers in the NFL
03:16I think the amazing thing Don is it's been his consistency so many times a young guy will come in
03:20he'll be great one week and bad the next not this guy he's been consistently good ever since he's took it
03:26take took his first snap eight and three as a starter after a Drew Bledsoe was hurt as Brady
03:32handoff and the former Bill Antoine Smith slams it right at his former teammates
03:37stopped by linebacker Jay Foreman as we look at the offensive blockers for the Patriots a rookie at left tackle in
03:44flight
03:46Compton Woody Andrewsie and Robinson Randall keep an eye on Damian Woody he dominated in the last meeting between these two teams
03:53Troy Brown and David Pat in the wideouts not much production from the tight end from a pass catching standpoint
03:58and there's the guy he absolutely is key to their running game today and it's important in the cold weather
04:04Woody the third-year center out of Boston College pitch back on second down and look at Antoine Smith running with a vengeance as he takes it across the 30
04:12as we look at the Bills now on defense after a nine-yard run by Smith
04:17Hanson's a veteran but not much experience after that
04:19yeah Ron Edwards makes his first start as a professional today
04:22a rookie starts at middle linebacker Brandon Spoon in for Sam Coward who they lost in the opening day this year
04:26rookie Nate Clements on the right side their number one pick is dangerous he scored two touchdowns
04:32one on a punt return one on an interception return of Peyton Manning
04:37first down Patriots
04:39Brady timing throw makes the connection and bringing it down is Terry Glenn who
04:45number 88
04:47Tom Brady telling us yesterday Steve that the whole pass offense change when Terry Glenn's in there
04:52well that's that's an understatement
04:54not just for the Patriots it changed for the Patriots it changed for the Patriots
04:58who's trying to play this team all of a sudden they've got three good wideouts and you'd better have three good cornerbacks to match up
05:08I don't know if the Buffalo Bills do that do have three good cornerbacks Terry Glenn really changes that dynamics of this game
05:14Glenn has caught 11 passes but he's only played in two games including last week
05:20Glenn has the ball very close to a first down that's a testament yeah that's a testament to his abilities I mean he's
05:26a testament to his abilities I mean even though he hasn't played much the threat of Terry Glenn being in the game plan is a huge headache for defensive coordinators
05:36remarkable speed and quickness somebody says Steve he could get separation from a defensive back in a phone booth
05:41tough to cover Terry Glenn who can be great when he's in the lineup
05:46a troubled season for him and now the handoff goes to Antoine Smith again and he's across the 45 yard line
05:54as the Patriot offensive line is winning the early battle in the in the trenches
05:59you see here Antoine Smith who was a Buffalo Bill during 97
06:04for 840 then he had a big year in 1998 and then as his yards decreased he was injured through most of that
06:10had foot problems ankle problems and got in the doghouse with an offensive coordinator during a struggling year for this team
06:16found a home in New England and has thrived
06:20well he was a happy guy when we talked to him yesterday
06:23how could you not be
06:25go-to guy and he has delivered the goods
06:27hits back Smith
06:29and he breaks it again and gets out to the field on a second down and six run
06:34he is ahead before he's brought down by the rookie Ron Edwards number 98
06:38the game plan pretty basic right now for the Patriots pounded at him
06:43the offensive line of the Patriots right now Steve
06:45that's going to be much better than that young defense in front of the Bills
06:48well the Bills because of injuries are starting two rookies and Phil Hanson has 144 starts himself
06:54the rest of those guys have six and you've got to think that the Patriots like that matchup if they can't beat him with physical ability
07:00certainly they can beat them with experience
07:02and that running of Smith is going to set up the passing game very soon because the Bills have to play run
07:08it's going to depend on the spot it's going to be very close the official game not a very good spot by the official
07:23I thought he got much more yardage than there's giving him on that
07:26and he did well short of it I did not make the first down that surprises me the record Nate Clements was on this up
07:33this Kevin fault going out to the right of your screen just got to get to about the 40 yeah he did he slid forward
07:40came up shy about a half a yard
07:43now Ken Walter number 13 independent a very effective punter since he's come in
07:49they're 37 plus on the net yardage NFL leader
07:57it's the ball high
07:59Bills won't touch it makes a big Patriot hop all the way down inside the five yard line
08:05I've seen that before Don
08:10you're usually on the end of the guys have covered in the bad weather the punters best friend is the bounce
08:16back to Ralph Wilson Stadium on a cold day chill factors at this point
08:2330 degrees and dropping
08:25as after a 46 yard punt with no return the Bills start deep in their own end
08:31Travis Henry
08:33once again
08:34gets out to the five yard line
08:37a moment ago you saw this field position take place because of a bounce this ball came end over end
08:43tumbling out of the sky and bounced right towards the end zone
08:48you see there that is a huge swing in field position
08:52and that's what happens on a cold day Don sometimes a punt returner let alone is afraid to field the ball because of the wind
08:59it's also more difficult and in a hard surface like turf you're always going to get a good bounce on the punt
09:04well the punt returner fearless prize eating when he part of the ball he backed off it
09:09and killed
09:10and the Bills up against it now this aggressive swarming Patriot defense again attacks the ball
09:15Bruce key the middle backers there
09:18with Steve tasker our broadcast partner rushing it in for the Bills
09:22of England Sean McCarthy on one of the 93 yard punt which is the longest in Patriots history
09:28and the third longest punt in NFL history
09:31Steve he should have got there a little faster
09:33I'll tell you what look at this role that's like a 35 yard role is going to keep going
09:38that's a nightmare
09:40that's why this series is always so close Don these teams beat each other up and nobody can get an edge
09:46a history of close game between the Bills and the Patriots
09:50third down now and the Bills need seven
09:53and the Bills will have to punt the ball from their end zone a big rush by Teddy Bruce key
10:00yeah the Patriots got good pressure and also Jay Riemersman slipped and fell down coming out of his route that play had no chance
10:09we'll see if Buffalo can exchange field position but right now
10:14the Patriots are getting the best of a field position Troy Brown standing right at midfield to receive the punt
10:20Troy Brown is back he broke an 85 yarder for a touchdown
10:25and here is the booming punt down field
10:27Brown backpedaling to his 35
10:3045
10:34and he gives the Patriots excellent field position averaging 14 yards of punt return
10:39Chris Watson was on the tackle a 58 yard punt
10:43on CBS is sponsored by Southwest Airlines
10:48proud sponsor of the NFL and official airline of Super Bowl 36
10:53Cadillac the fusion of design and technology
10:56and by the Travel Industry Association of America
11:00the beautiful panorama of the Niagara River and the Gorge and the Niagara Falls
11:10about 25 miles away from Orchard Park
11:13as Brady hands up again they go to Antoine Smith
11:16and Smith who was an 1100 yard rusher with the Bills
11:20before they stopped getting in the ball that was back in 98
11:23breaks another good game before Brandon Spoon makes the stop
11:26there's a big over match here Steve you're right it is
11:29as long as Tom Brady can hand the ball off to Antoine Smith
11:32Brady's gonna have a very easy day at the office
11:36very productive day earlier Antoine Smith has run the ball five times and already has 25 yards
11:46or Antoine Smith or plus yards as he drives close to a first down
11:51he'll bring up third and less than a yard on the sideline group let's hope
11:55that's going to be the best quarterback
11:57awaiting his turn coming off the injury
11:59the best quarterbacks gonna play and then I get my chance in the summer
12:03I expect to be the best quarterback that's exactly right Nick
12:05Bledsoe said you know he gave Brady the same advice his dad gave him
12:08he throw it to our guys not to theirs
12:10you can make this game as complicated as you want Don
12:13it'll never be rocket science
12:15he threw it to the right guys an awful lot in his time group
12:18but so in his time it's a long way to go only in his ninth year
12:20recently turned 30
12:24this quarterback situation is a tribute to both these guys
12:27they've handled it as well as anybody possibly could
12:29they have they've remained good friends through it all
12:31now they get to the up back the fullback and
12:33Mark Edwards cracks the Bills defensive front
12:36he gets a first down for New England
12:40Newman on the tackle you never like to see that as a defense Don
12:43three straight runs
12:46and a first down if you can't stop the run
12:49on three straight downs to give up a first down
12:52you're in deep trouble and these this Buffalo Bills defense
12:55has got a lot of young players playing on it
12:58but this is a time when at this point of the season they're 2 and 10
13:01these guys have got to step up and play or they're not going to be a Buffalo Bill next year
13:05well the rushing yards certainly indicate the way the Patriots have controlled this scoreless game so far
13:11again they go and now a play to Fick and they get the ball to Troy Brown and he's not done with an array of blockers in front of him
13:21Troy Brown putting on moves and stops ahead down to the 30 yard line
13:27an 8 yard gain on the play
13:29you don't mind running a play like that with Troy Brown because if it's sniffed out which it is here by the Buffalo Bills watch
13:34Keon Carpenter backs out and he sniffs it out and runs and covers the receiver but Troy Brown being a great kick returner all of a sudden
13:44it's a little picket fence off to the left side and he picks up almost enough for a first down that's why you don't mind trying those trick plays
13:51with a guy like Troy Brown he'll make something out of nothing
13:56got twice the offensive coordinator he's been going to that bag of tricks often for New England
14:01another Antoine Smith run and this power runner a real hammer a straight line runner takes it inside the 25 yard line
14:09for the rookie Ron Edwards gets him down
14:11we spoke to Antoine yesterday we said he's a pretty you stand next to the first thing you notice he is a big guy for a running back
14:17we asked him what he weighed he goes 2 30 but I'm going out to dinner
14:22he's gonna get all of it he'll be 2 35 after a good sit down dinner
14:28in the first meeting on November 11th won by the Patriots at Foxboro 21 to 11 the bill sack Tom Brady seven times
14:37today they're going to the run nine runs and two passes so far for New England now Brady looking deep
14:42long ball coverage is good incomplete
14:45Tom Brady coming out of the backfield was the fullback Mark Edwards who has 22 catches this year
14:52and one of the things about this place Tom Brady had a lot of time to throw the football and he's got his full
15:00he's got his full
