(Includes penalties.)

ANALYSIS: Talk of Wes Welker's role with the team should subside this week after he led all receivers in snaps played. ... With the Patriots pressing the issue with the no-huddle, it called on third-down/passing back Danny Woodhead getting the majority of the snaps over Stevan Ridley at running back. … Julian Edelman played the most snaps of any receiver in the first half (38) but didn’t play in the second half because of a left hand injury. … Matthew Slater came on for Brandon Lloyd for two snaps in the fourth quarter, as the Patriots’ receiver ranks were thinned without Lloyd and Edelman at the time. … Kellen Winslow was part of a two tight end package, while Michael Hoomanawanui was part of two- and three-tight end packages, and Daniel Fells was just part of the three tight-end package.
