The Patriots moved to 2-0 on the season with a 28-21 victory over the Chargers, a win highlighted by a brilliant Tom Brady (again) and a large number of outstanding works of defense, including a pair of Jerod Mayo, Vince Wilfork and another by a key interception Sergio Brown.

Patriots travel to Buffalo to fight 2-0 shows next week.

What went well

- Brady has gone for 517 yards Monday night to win Dolphins - completed 31-of-40 passes 423 yards and three touchdowns. He finished the game 135.7 passer rating ninth straight regular-season game, he crossed the 100.0 mark. He was at his best is a 99-yard TD drive after the Mayo deal, success feeds on five different receivers, including a 10-yard scoring strike from Rob Gronkowski. Brady also wrote 92-yard TD in the first quarter.

- Opposing defense once again be allowed to create big yardage quarterback (Philip Rivers completed over 364 meters), but plays in the key when it counted. Mayo stopped by Mike Tolbert, NE, in one-yard line on fourth-and-goal second quarter to stop a drive, and Sergio Brown (Patrick Chung, in the locker room with a hand injury), Antonio Gates went in front the first decline in 17 interception to stop another promising drive in San Diego. And when the Patriots did not convert on fourth and four-midfield in the fourth quarter, the Mayo Tolbert stripped in the field behind. Rob recovered Ninkovic, creating a more Gronkowski TD that put the game away.

- But the season is with the defensive play Wilfork signing early for the Patriots, turning over, and then listening to Rivers pass to NE returned to collect 29 Wilfork 28 meters (10 yards, and Devin McCourty have been wiped out by penalty), Brady hit a couple of sprigs of travel 18 yards and converted 47-yard Gostkowski field goal to stop the first time.

- The tight end caught two touchdown passes for the second consecutive week, as Aaron Hernandez capped the first New England race game with a catch of Bob Sanders and Gronkowski finalize the disc 99 yards. Gronkowski also caught a TD in the fourth quarter and now has seven points in his last six regular season games.

- Rama did not have a touchdown pass but finished with eight catches for 129 yards to lead all players from the Patriots.

- BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed for 16 yards with 1:54 left TD to finish the game 80-yard drive that put the Patriots at 35-21. Ellis finished the game with 68 yards to make 16 when he served as the lead back (Danny Woodhead was only four strains).

- Chad Ochocinco is not the star player on offense, but has a key third-down grab in the opening of the unit and is transported in the theft of 30 yards on the second play of the drive of 99 meters.

What went wrong

- Injuries. Chung (hand), Ras I Dowling (leg) and Zoltan Mesko all left the game in the third quarter. Aaron Hernandez left (knee) for the fourth quarter and was not on the training ground for the final New England.

- Danny Woodhead was almost a non-factor (only four of view of 12 meters, even if you drive a two-point conversion put the Patriots at 28-14), has struggled with crime and prevent another pick up a pickup couple of blitz.

- The secondary was another shaky outing. Devin McCourty is his second game up and down, allowing greater play against Vincent Jackson (career-high 10 catches, 172 yards). Kyle Arrington also had problems Matchups Jackson and Malcolm Floyd.
