After another two plays , the Patriots again found themselves in a third down situation ; this time Moss caught a 33 - yard pass from Cassel to put the Patriots on the Seahawks ' 13 - yard line . However , the Patriots could not convert another third down , and Gostkowski was called on to kick a 27 - yard field goal that cut the Seahawks ' lead to 21 -- 16 . The Patriots defense , playing without Warren , who was inactive for the game , as well as starters Bruschi , James Sanders , and Wilfork , who were all injured in the first half , forced the Seahawks to punt on their next drive , giving the Patriots the ball at their own 29 - yard line with less than nine minutes remaining in the game . Three consecutive third down conversions -- an 11 - yard Faulk catch , a five - yard Gaffney catch , and a 13 - yard Welker catch -- extended the Patriots drive and moved them to the Seahawks ' 31 - yard line . On first down , a 25 - yard Welker screen pass put the Patriots in the Seahawks ' red zone , but on third down , Morris was unable to score on a run for the 1 - yard line , setting up fourth down . This time , Morris ' dive was successful , giving the Patriots a 22 -- 21 lead . The Patriots converted their two - point conversion try with a Welker catch , increasing their lead to 24 -- 21 . However , a 26 - yard Wilson kickoff return followed by a 23 - yard Wallace scramble put the Seahawks on the Patriots ' 43 - yard line just before the two - minute warning . After a Maurice Morris run for a loss of a yard , Wallace was strip - sacked by a blitzing Meriweather on 2nd and 11 ; Seymour recovered the fumble at the Seahawks ' 49 - yard line to seal the Patriots win . Their 8 -- 5 record brought them into a three - way tie with the Dolphins and Jets for first place in the division .

History of the Buffalo Bills
Bledsoe revived the Bills for the 2002 season , leading them to an 8 -- 8 record , setting 10 team passing records in the process . However , in a tough division with all other teams finishing 9 -- 7 , they were still in last place . Another Patriots castoff , safety Lawyer Milloy , who joined the Bills days before the 2003 season began , gave the team an immediate boost on defense . After beating eventual champions New England 31 -- 0 in the first game , and crushing the Jaguars in their second game , play - by - play announcer Van Miller immediately announced his retirement as of the end of the season , expecting the team to have a shot at the title . However , the Bills stumbled through the rest of the season , finishing 6 -- 10 . In fact their season had ended the exact opposite of the beginning as they were trounced by New England 31 -- 0 . In one game , however , the Bills ' fans gained a small measure of satisfaction when the defense sacked Rob Johnson multiple times in his relief effort for the Washington Redskins . Main
