Reality show doesn't faze this team
Published 1/14/2008 by Bob Ryan, Globe Columnist at Boston.com -- Football news
FOXBOROUGH - No, they're not invincible. But they definitely know what they're doing. Looking back, those first 10 Patriots games, with the exception, of course, of the Colts game, were a joke, a travesty, a mockery of football.

Might as well go ahead and chalk up New England in the Super Bowl if you hadn't already done that after Week 9.No LT? No Problem As Turner And Co. Highlight Chargers’ 28-24 Upset Of Colts

I think it is safe to assume the following: that the Indianapolis Colts will not repeat as Super Bowl Champions, and that the San Diego Chargers are a team that the New England Patriots better take very, very seriously. Even without running back LaDanian Tomlinson and quarterback Philip Rivers plus some stout pass rushing, the Chargers managed to find their way into the win column Sunday, upsettinTOP 11 NFL STORYLINES THAT WILL BE BEATEN INTO THE GROUND THIS WEEK
