Really nice win by the Pats last night. Some thoughts:

* I had no idea how much Patrick Chung helped set the tone for this defense. That guy has a terrific motor and he HITS! Kudos to him.
* I cannot recall seeing Brady being so fired up. Remember all the talk last year and early this season about the lack of veteran leadership on this team. Well, one vet has really taken it to heart. Good for Brady - good for the team.
* Gronkowski - Dog House in Cleveland to Steel Tycoon in Pittsburgh... great game for the rookie.
* Lots of excuses out of Pittsburg about how beat up their offensive line was, BUT... the Patriots defense did the job and got lots of pressure and 5 sacks on Big Ben ... so Kudos to them
* Patriots offensive line, (missing Stephen Neal BTW), was OUTSTANDING!
* I would not be surprised if some more kickers come in to audition this week...a missed EXTRA POINT! AAARRRRRGHH
* Law firm continues to hit the hole hard and follow his blockers...he doesn't know how to dance...so what is Maroney doing these days?
* My only complaint about the game was when the Pats reverted to the "Prevent" Defense in the fourth quarter. I cringe just thinking of it.
* All in all a GREAT bounce back win. I hope they show the same intensity next week against the Colts. That looks to be another fun game.
