ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Patriots left guard Stephen Neal is a good listener. Neal yesterday remembered instructions from coach Bill Belichick that when a player is running after an opponent who is going toward the end zone, he should knock the ball toward the end zone because it'll be a touchback if it goes through it.

FOXBOROUGH -- The Patriots might have underestimated Adam Vinatieri's scoring range yesterday. During pregame planning, the Patriots decided not to attempt field goals if the line of scrimmage was outside the 30-yard line.
