Dillon turned out to be the savior of a turnover-filled game as the Patriots were able to rally from an eight-point deficit to defeat the visiting Detroit Lions, 28-21.  The Patriots committed a season-high ten penalties throughout the game and turned the ball over four times as they struggled to defeat a team which was able to move the ball at will and were also able to convert a safety. The first quarter was a back and forth fight with the Patriots gaining the only edge on a Gostkowski field goal.  The second quarter saw both offenses gaining momentum with the Lions scoring the first touchdown in the game on a five-yard Jon Kitna pass to Mike Furrey with 13:44 remaining.  The Lions then expanded their lead with a field goal by Jason Hanson to lead 10-3.  The Patriots responded by driving down the field and scoring on a six-yard Dillon run to tie the game 10-10.  On the Lions' ensuing possession Kitna threw the first of his three interceptions for the afternoon to Samuel.  The Patriots then marched down the field and the first half ended on a 27-yard Gostkowski field goal.  The second half started with the Lions slowly moving the ball down the field for a field goal to even up the score again 13-13. Brady then threw an interception to Dr&#233; Bly, which gave the ball back to the Lions.  The Lions again were unable to get into the endzone and settled on another field goal for a 16-13 lead.  On the following possession, Heath Evans got tackled by Jared DeVries which was called as a safety, giving the Lions an 18-13 lead and possession.  The Lions once more could not score a touchdown and took another field goal to take a 21-13 lead.  The Patriots were not deterred, though, as on the next drive they were able to get Dillon into the endzone again and complete the two-point conversion with a pass from Brady to Brown.  With this touchdown, Dillon became only the 15th NFL player with more than 11,000 career rushing yards.  Following the kickoff came an onslaught of turnovers.  First Kitna threw an interception to Mike Vrabel to give the Patriots the ball and a chance for the lead, but Watson fumbled the ball after a reception which gave the ball back to the Lions.  Kitna then was sacked and fumbled which gave the ball once again back to the Patriots.  This turned out to be the definitive scoring drive as Dillon scored his third touchdown of the night, putting the Patriots ahead 28-21.  On the final drive for the Lions, Kitna again threw an interception to Vrabel, who suffered a minor injury on the play.  The Patriots then ended with three kneel downs and came out victorious 28-21 and improving to 9-3 for the season.  With this victory the Patriots also swept the entire NFC North.. who is the commited season
