14 down, 2 to go

So the New England Patriots are now 14-0 ... only the second team in NFL history to do so. When the Miami Dolphins set the record in 1972, they played a 14-game regular schedule, so the Patriots can make history on Sunday when they host Miami and win.

And Sunday's win secured home field advantage for the Patriots throughout the playoffs.

The Patriots vs. NY Jets game was a mess and took the Pats' passing game out of the equation. It was nice to see RB Laurence Maroney take over as the featured back and have a good day on the ground (104 yards, 26 carries, 1 TD).

Still, you have to give the Jets' defense credit, too. They covered WR Randy Moss well and Brady couldn't force the ball into his hands as he's done in the past.

Speculation around the campfire is whether or not Bill Belichick and co. will start resting players in anticipation of the post season. Given that with a win over Miami this Sunday the Pats would be the only team to ever go 15-0 during the regular season, I doubt it.

Also, Brady is a very fierce competitor and wants to be behind center for every snap of every game. He's not about personal stats and accomplishments, but if he's close to setting some new record over the next two games, I'm sure he'll stay in.
