"Watson's touchdown gave New England a 21-3 lead with 3:03 left in the third, though only five minutes earlier the outcome was very much in doubt. With the Patriots ahead 7-3, and marching toward the end zone, Brady looked to Watson and found him near the 5-yard line.
That's where the tight end caught the ball and spun up field, but this time as he did, Peterson reached in and ripped the ball free. The pigskin skipped about 4 yards forward, and New England was lucky when receiver Andre Davis was the one who pounced on it for the recovery. The very next play, Brady found David Givens to extend the Patriots' edge to 11.
Watson went over to Davis after the play and patted him on the helmet, but not without first letting the fumble sink into his own head.
"The game is long and you hope you get a chance to make another play," Watson said. "Thankfully I got that chance."
When Peterson tried the same trick mere minutes later, Watson held on and broke Jacksonville's back with the score that surely had jam-packed Gillette Stadium harking back to the days of same-named brawny tight end Ben Coates. "
