TOUCHDOWN FOR MIKE VRABEL
Linebacker Mike Vrabel caught his seventh regular-season touchdown pass and his ninth overall touchdown pass (including two in the playoffs) on a 1-yard scoring catch from Tom Brady in the first quarter that gave the Patriots a 10-0 lead. Each of Vrabel’s nine career receptions have been for touchdowns – including one in Super Bowl XXXVIII and one in Super Bowl XXXIX. The touchdown reception against Cincinnati was Vrabel’s first since Dec. 26, 2005, when he caught two scoring passes against the New York Jets. Like tonight, that game was also played on a Monday night. Including his one career interception return for a touchdown, Vrabel now has totaled eight career regular-season touchdowns – the fourth-highest total in a New England uniform by a current Patriot (trailing only Troy Brown, Kevin Faulk and Benjamin Watson). Vrabel is one of 60 players in Patriots history to score eight or more touchdowns in regular season play.
You'd think the opposition would realize... when Vrabel lines up inside the 5... there is a 75% chance the Pats will pass to him. Yet, no one ever stops it.

Tedy is on (by phone) with Dale and Holley. He just recounted how he and Vrabel were about to discuss a coverage adjustment when Mike told him he had to go do something but he'd be right back. When he returned to finish their discussion a minute later he said sorry, I just had to go score a TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rocker:
