Patriots Survive Scare

The New England Patriots are still perfect, but looking mighty vulnerable. New England pulled off its greatest escape thus far to become the sixth team in NFL history to start a season with 12 victories. For the second straight week, it was a struggle against a losing team, but the incredibly resourceful Patriots got Tom Brady's 8 yard touchdown pass to Jabar Gaffney with 44 seconds left to beat the Baltimore Ravens 27-24 Monday night. The winning drive in the final minutes covered 73 yards and required two fourth down conversions, one on the defensive holding penalty 6 seconds before Gaffney beat Dawan Landry in the left corner of the end zone.
