1. Without Drew Brees and Tom Brady Marino would still have it.

Nobody remembers who is second.

2. There was a wild celebration...for Gronkowski!

Rob Gronkowski sets TE yardage mark

ESPNBoston.com
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots' Rob Gronkowski eclipsed the NFL record for receiving yards by a tight end, then won a battle with the New Orleans' Saints Jimmy Graham to get his name in the record books.

With the Patriots leading the Buffalo Bills, 49-21, New England got the ball with 1:30 remaining in the game and backup quarterback Brian Hoyer behind center. Rather than taking a knee, Hoyer hit Gronkowski up the left sideline for a 22-yard gain that pushed Gronkowski's season yardage total to 1,327. Graham's total stood at 1,310 as the Saints' game against the Carolina Panthers ended just moments earlier.

After Gronkowski's catch in front of the New England bench, Patriots players and coach Bill Belichick erupted in applause. Hoyer then took a knee three times to run out the clock.

5. I like that the University of Arizona has provided some parts of NE and Boston's success.

Tedy Bruschi, Rob Gronkowski and Terry Francona.

4. Having clinched Top Seed in AFC playoffs

Pats will enjoy a luxurious bye next weekend, then enjoy home field advantage through the playoffs.

Gee, I better fluff up my official Patriots Super Bowl seat cushion - gonna be needing it soon.

6. Don't jinx them...they need to win at least one playoff game this year...

Actually, if they win their first, I think they'll take the AFC whoever they play next.

7. Are you insinuating that my fluffed up seat is jinxy, pray tell?

I don't take kindly to unkind words about my Official Patriots slingback, so I may have to get you a "special' seat warmer of your own, joey

8. That looks like it could come in handy at Foxboro in 2 weeks...

If the weather is typical Pats playoff weather!!!!
