Default Game Ball Goes To...

The Offensive Line. Did you see the pancake block Mankins made on Castillo on Faulk's 2 point conversion? - plus no sacks given up on Brady.

Honorable mention - Troy Brown.

I agree. Huge day for the line. Wish they were able to run it a bit, though. Will be huge next week.

Tough choice... Everyone stepped up when they needed too... Offensive line did great though... Reche did excellent... Defense did ok... The rookie kicker stepped up when he needed to with the game winning FG...

How about Reche, for recovering that fumble, scoring a touchdown and that clutch catch leading to the field goal? I'm having a hard time choosing between him and Troy Brown.

Like any other great Pats win, you can't single out anyone for a game ball. You can't single out Caldwell or Brown more than you can Gaffney, you can't single out the O line more than special teams.

Special teams and QB were the only areas of the game where we had the upper hand, IMHO.

I can't pick one player today, this was the definition of team effort, EVERYONE made plays, special teams, defense, offense you name it we got a big play from everyone. People can talk about how many pro bowlers the Chargers have, well there isn't a TEAM i'd rather have than the guys we have, they just make plays when needed to.

I definitely DON'T pick the OL, and if I had to focus on a player or two I'd go with the receivers or...

JAMES. F-ing. SANDERS.

Sander has played extremely well.

I would have loved to hear BB post game speech to the team in the lockerroom. I wonder what he said to the team and who he applauded..

Sanders played a great game. I liked Pees sending him on the blitz one time and then sending Hawkins on another.

Vrabel had a heckuva game despite playing in a lot of pain. Hobbs had a great game and showed tremendous grit. Colvin was outstanding, catching a tipped ball like a receiver. Terrific team effort.
