Play from 7:23[7:23]" The Rams coming off consecutive victories took the lead early in the fourth quarter -- the third straight win. But after he could husky beautiful I -- example the advantage of great field position. To convert the first game winning fourth quarter touchdown drive of his career. It was an important drive for that game it would have to maturity -- QB. It was a good day."

Play from 7:47[7:47]" We'll behind in the fourth quarter as opposed to come back in the face of a little bit of adversity and fight and we did that as a -- everybody stepped up its I thought that was. It was a big thing for this offense to prove that we can do that and those tight games because it can be sure a lot of those down the road."

Play from 8:05[8:05]" The game was not exactly over after the Cassel to Kevin Faulk touchdown the Patriots defensive backfield insulted -- injured all afternoon. Do that the Rams would continue to go deep why not it was working but Deltha O'Neal returned from a head injury. To tell the Rams it would be working this time. And so blog here please just knock it down just because. In many ways this seven point mean against the Koreans could be seen as a more defining result that the 34 point win six days earlier over the Broncos. But for sixty minutes -- guys that you know possible finish plays -- that's going to that this was going to be."

Play from 9:06[9:06]" In the end they just they hung in there in the."

Play from 9:10[9:10]" This fought all the way and made plays in the fourth quarter we had to make to win. No matter what it takes when games get through them."

Play from 9:18[9:18]" Driving habits that. There's adversity hits. We continue closing tighter and tighter offense against one another and you know we don't worry about everything else on this -- in this and then the fans and media -- whatever it is. Just continue to let them play ball up and went on sixty minutes."

Play from 9:36[9:36]" And a lot of field now with Paul Perillo Patriots football weekly on as nice a late October Sunday's you could possibly have. And the Patriots come out with a win this is a pretty big stretch here beating Denver and now St. Louis today before heading into maybe the toughest part of the schedule. Just how big of witnesses that I think it was huge because of what you're talking what you had indeed have a budget division games that are obviously a very important with Buffalo Miami Jackson and I think Pittsburgh comes to town at the tail end of that. Look they had to have this one at home against St. Louis I know that playing better football under Jim has that but he needed to beat the Rams moment and the best part of the Rams football at least in the early going was the -- ball Bulger to Donnie Avery -- Barton as well. This Patriots secondary looked terrible early on they had injuries are dealing with it did rebound will be in the second half Deltha O'Neal gets to take the Selig talked but the played secondary ball."

Play from 10:24[10:24]" And obviously there was some holes there was some -- in the coverages and bills can't be happy about that especially in the first half as you mentioned but. You know given the state of health of that that group from the back at various times you lost Ellis Hobbs you mean you lost although O'Neal for a long. Periods on -- the very first possession and I don't think. He played at all until the very last percent to secure so you have to be looking up there at that Terrence Wheatley. Jonathan Wilhite Brandon meriwether. -- wants fan Mike Richards Mike Richardson you know but -- I think they had 61 was second year guys on the field that last drive. I mean bill's got to feel pretty forcing -- a called timeout just to get everybody in the same page because I don't think -- had enough quarters to deal with the four wide set that the Rams had right."

Play from 11:05[11:05]" It out equivalent for the Patriots on the offensive side to these -- Wheatley. Richardson guys is Benjarvis Green-Ellis into -- he scored a touchdown early on in every statistical game. But Kevin Faulk each of the games were Kevin Faulk comes to pick historically -- his nine year career yeah I mean."

Play from 11:19[11:19]" I think we've gotten. You know tired of trying to figure -- different ways to say Kevin Faulk just makes plays -- mean he's in the end zone at the end of that game. You know this. It down three you know it's a tie game you need to play in the areas on linebacker. When teams don't learn you can't put a linebacker one on one out in space on Kevin Faulk doesn't look that fast. He doesn't look like he's he's create separation but he always does he somehow managed to get both feet in bounds and as the game winning touchdown catch it all by the way. Tom Brady's used to this but Matt Cassel that's congratulations that's a first come from behind victory in the fourth quarter I was --"

Play from 11:51[11:51]" It was pretty impressive these two games for the built on right now as we look ahead we'll get your five points later in the week but as we look ahead if it's -- first -- November it Patriots Colts going into Indy. Talk about that game with a quick got put thought before it later we would seem is going to be the healthiest because outside both teams have been decimated and I know that we're focused on Tom Brady by. Yeah Indies Dillon and an awful lot of injuries to win and stop -- well. -- to five until the end of the month November in a tie I believe it is for the division lead so that's not bad especially considering the injuries. And that's where we stand right now let's go back inside to Christina."

Play from 12:24[12:24]" Thank you guys the head coach in the starting quarterback both expressed their thoughts after the game at the podium there in your -- pressed."

Play from 12:34[12:34]" The last two weeks feel like we've we've we've stepped up on office it was done a better job and I just think everybody is sensitive to work together and and officer coaches have done a great job getting us prepared and ready. And now we're playing with a lot of energy and a lot of enthusiasm and if we can continue to do that until the things we're doing well. Will be hard to stop."

Play from 12:55[12:55]" No we're scrambling secondary there's no doubt about it we're scrambling secondary when belt one out and you know -- when I also want now and you know the Mike got hurt on the last kickoff. And saying that he was so there. And then it put the four wide receivers in the game which is a two minute offense so we kind of expected that that we're down BP's brand and had to move to corner. Antoine came minutes safeties so whoever. You know prevent -- timeout there to kick off just to kind of get organized effort trying to -- product out there -- that point."

Play from 13:29[13:29]" It's an impeccable job they I had great protection all sales have stepped up go through lotteries -- threw long to even get to three times. And it is a great job. It's just one of those things where you need you you go up there and keep fighting and do those things are going to happen where. A guy falls down to ball happens and the main thing that I thought it was it was great for their offense is that we didn't get discouraged we we knew the plays were there. We just didn't make them and we came back into play when account and it can't."

Play from 13:58[13:58]" Not apply to solve that saw a lot of people shares and they came -- and it was good it does a lot of things well he's. I think he's a -- we all -- confidence around here coaches players quarterbacks. You know on the whole football team. Comes to work every day then you know he's one of those team players we have he's he's all about our football team whatever he can do it helps them. Do mop the floors it mottled mean he's definitely Troy Brown. "

Play from 14:25[14:25]" I mean just can't say enough about Al -- I think that's one of the main things is when you step into roll like this. And Stefan for a guy like Tom Brady has done the things that he's done over the last nine years here and he's indicated league last year. I think it puts a lot of pressure on myself and I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform and try to pick up where he left off. And -- obviously a lot of people would say that that's you know it's hard to do and it is hard to do. But as long as we can't continue to build we can be successful offense and continue to grow. Run them specially see Iraq. I don't know it's see a lot of big big guys are that mean and I strategy around -- dive simply zone they blow the whistle. Blow the whistle."

Play from 15:12[15:12]" Coming up we got some numbers on the victory on Sunday right after that."

Play from 15:18[15:18]" We'll be right back with more Patriots today."

Play from 15:22[15:22]" For years the front brakes on many captains -- this -- You want to breaks this big. -- know. Standard on the -- to under the drug it's changing at all."
