The defense showed up today and kept the New York Jets and their big mouths out of it. The offense need to be bailed out a few times by the defense but overall it was a great Sunday.

Beasts:

• BenJarvus Green-Ellis




• He had 136 yards and 2 touchdowns on the day. Green-Ellis really was the difference maker today.




• The Defense




• Even though the defense was night and day at times, as a unit they were levels better in terms of pressure than they've been in a while. In fact, they forced seven 3 and outs. I feel like the defense really progressed today. Oh, and Mark Anderson has what now, 3 sacks?




• The Crowd




• At different times in the game today the crowd noise was really a difference. There are many things I could say about the Patriots crowd, but today they where good.

• Logan Mankins




• Mankins was getting beat by Mark Devito. That shouldn't happen




• Aaron Hernandez




• Anytime you cause an interception, then you're on this list

• Will the Pats secondary shut down Mark Sanchez and his wide receivers?




• The Jets top receiver had 60 yards and Sanchez was 16 for 166 yards on the day. Job well done by McCourty, Bodden, and co




• Does Stevan Ridley get more touches than Green-Ellis today?




• Ridley had 7 runs for 13 yards. Green-Ellis on the other hand was really good today




• Will Welker stay red hot?




• Revis did have an impact on Welker, but Welker remained the threat he's been the past four games in more ways than one




• Does Dustin Keller have a big game or will he stay forgotten?




• Keller was a ghost most of the game thanks to Patrick Chung




• Will Ochocinco have his breakout game?




• Well, he did have two catches

• Gronkowski was sick for the game so that would answer my thoughts on why he wasn't being targeted as much as he should of been


• Pat Chung is on the edge of becoming elite


• Where was Derrick Mason?


• Tom Brady was sacked four times and hit five times


• I had Stevan Ridley in today on my fantasy team... I got three points from him


• The cheerleaders looked good today...
