Despite a shaky start - two fumbles, one lost - that put the Jacksonville ahead 6-0, the Patriots routed the Jaguars by a 47-12 score on Thursday in the first preseason game. Yes, it's just a practice game, but a lot happened in the game that is worthy of praise. Tom Brady sat the game out. Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett were left to handle the offense. Hoyer started and played the first half and went 15-21 for 171 yards and a touchdown. Mallett took over for the second half and finished 12-19 for 164 yards. Taylor Price impressed at wide receiver with a great touchdown catch and 105 yards on the night. Rookie Stevan Ridley from LSU was superb with 121 total rushing and receiving yards and three touchdowns. Free agent rookie Ryan Medlin (Fayetteville) finished with two touchdowns. The defense turned in a really impressive effort as Jacksonville mustered just four field goals. Dane Fletcher had five tackles. more ›

Believe it or not, Byrd and Tazawa were worse than it sounds as all 12 of Chicago's runs in the 12-2 loss were compressed into just three innings. Freddy Garcia allowed one run in six innings. more ›
