Or did another Ron Borges than one I hear about here write this article?

FOXBORO - Sometimes you simply have to hang on until the end. That and that alone becomes the margin of victory on days like yesterday.
That is what the Patriots did better than the St. Louis Rams at Gillette Stadium, and they were rewarded for their resilience with a skin-tight, 23-16 victory that landed them in a tie with Buffalo atop the AFC East.
...
But the most important thing was that after Matt Cassel gave the Pats the lead on a perfectly lofted ball to Kevin Faulk with 3:13 to play the Patriots defense understood it was winning time. Although again under assault from Bulger, it held him to a 3-for-9 drive. And, in the end, the Pats took the ball away on third-and-15 from their 38 to earn a champion’s victory.
It was the kind of victory that is harder than you’d like but, in the end, is the most satisfying of all.
“We have to just keep playing ball,” a tired and aching Hobbs said. “That’s what we did today. We kept playing ball.”
Kept fighting one more round until there were no rounds left and no more Rams to worry about.
