Inspired effort by the #Patriots defense so far. #Bears have 38 yards on 14 plays so far, only 2 first downs

James White the RB in the huddle at the moment. Well, along with Develin.

Brandon Browner hitting like David Ortiz in the World Series. #Patriots #ChicVsNE

James White in the huddle to start this drive

We have a James White sighting.

I know he's a rookie and hasn't played much, but I don't see the huge upside to White.
FanSinceThe60s 10/26/2014 5:51:21 PM
OK, I guess that's the upside.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 10/26/2014 5:51:38 PM
James White just made one of the best plays of the game so far. Fall on it. Smart situational move.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 10/26/2014 5:52:49 PM
Hey, remember that time Tom Brady said he was working on extending plays with his legs? Well...
by Ben Volin via twitter 10/26/2014 5:52:55 PM
Crazy Legs Brady with the great throw to Gronk to convert a third and 18
FanSinceThe60s 10/26/2014 5:53:19 PM
Direct snap to Faulk. Oh, wait...

Touchdown to Tim Wright. The Boston TE Party is back.
by New England Patriots via twitter 10/26/2014 5:53:56 PM
TOUCHDOWN! Brady to Tim Wright for the 1-yd TD.
by OBF, Boston.com via twitter 10/26/2014 5:54:06 PM
Let Brady throw the ball from the 1, good things can happen. #Patriots
by Ben Volin via twitter 10/26/2014 5:54:14 PM
Touchdown, Tim Wright. Sweet playfake. #Patriots about to go up 17-0 with 8:02 left 2Q

10 plays, 76 yards, 5:27 on the #Patriots touchdown drive capped off by a 1-yard touchdown pass to Tim Wright.

#Patriots scoring drive: 10 plays, 76 yards in 5:27. Pats have held the ball for 14:54 already, compared to 6:57 for the #Bears
by Jeff Pini via twitter 10/26/2014 5:56:04 PM
Brady to Tim Wright. #Patriots up 17-0 with just over 8:00 left in the half.
by Michael Whitmer via twitter 10/26/2014 5:56:39 PM
Patriots rolling. Should we nitpick, they've tried to run it 5 times inside the 3 (counting the 4th-down stop that was flagged). No run TDs.

Distant Replay.

Call him Touchdown Tim. R-U, Rah-Rah!

Browner giveth, Browner taketh away.
by Ben Volin via twitter 10/26/2014 6:01:44 PM
Third time in three games Brandon Browner has been busted for defensive holding or illegal contact
by Ben Volin via twitter 10/26/2014 6:02:35 PM
Excuse me, third time in two games Brandon Browner has been busted for defensive holding or illegal contact
Freeman 10/26/2014 6:02:40 PM
and after playing so well for most of half, defense now going to Bears some life. I predict a TD here
by Ben Volin via twitter 10/26/2014 6:03:57 PM
Great improv by Cutler, hits Forte on a wheel route for a 25-yard touchdown. Jamie Collins burned pretty badly
by New England Patriots via twitter 10/26/2014 6:04:31 PM
Chicago gets on the board with a 25-yd TD pass from Cutler to Forte. Now 17-7 in Foxborough. #CHIvsNE
by Erik Frenz via twitter 10/26/2014 6:05:05 PM
Jamie Collins has had all kinds of trouble in coverage this season. He's been beat a few times today, and on that 25-yard touchdown catch.
Freeman 10/26/2014 6:05:20 PM
Defense pulls through as it always does. We need to drive down and score again. That was pathetic by the D
Matt 10/26/2014 6:06:32 PM
This defense is just not very good. At all.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 10/26/2014 6:06:36 PM
So far, Collins hype has been based on his strong performance against the #Colts in last year's playoffs and not much else.
Steve 10/26/2014 6:07:31 PM
Maybe someone should cover Forte?
Freeman 10/26/2014 6:07:38 PM
Need a long drive ending in 7. Get ball to start 2nd half
by Ben Volin via twitter 10/26/2014 6:08:22 PM
Rough return for Stork. First a false start, now a holding penalty
Joe 10/26/2014 6:08:55 PM
I see our bend then break defense has arrived.
by Ben Volin via twitter 10/26/2014 6:09:54 PM
Brady and Gronk have converted third and 18 and third and 14 so far
by Erik Frenz via twitter 10/26/2014 6:10:14 PM
Great blocks by Hooman on that play. Yes, plural.
FanSinceThe60s 10/26/2014 6:10:49 PM
Methinks we've seen the last of Stevan Ridley in a Patriots uni.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 10/26/2014 6:11:09 PM
Hey #Bears , you might want to cover that Robert Gronkowski fella.
by Ben Volin via twitter 10/26/2014 6:11:20 PM
Gronk already has 7 catches for 101 yards today. Killing the #Bears down the seams. He looks tired as a dog
