With John Friesz having been released recently, New England may have simply been "just looking" at their options last weekend at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. If that's the case, there's no point in reading much into their meeting with Michael Vick.

Matthews completes club record 15 straight passes, and fires two touchdown passes to lead Bears to win. Allen rushes for 97 yards and breaks the 1,000-yard barrier for the season. Lethargic Pats fall short at end as illegal motion penalty robs them of final ten seconds.

The Patriots did indeed defeat Cincinnati today. But their narrow 16-13 margin left the fans with more consternation than happiness. The Patriots played right down to their level of competition, and the coach has perhaps lost confidence in his defense.

By: Bob George Date: 11/17/2000 Patriots face the lowly Cincinnati Bengals at home on Sunday.
