Tight One at Gillette: The Patriots hold a 13-10 lead at halftime. Both teams have converted one of their two opportunities in the Red Zone as the Patriots responded with a 10-point run to end the half. Eric Decker was targeted seven times in the first 30 minutes, hauling in four passes for 59 yards.
Ivory Slowed: Chris Ivory was held to 12 yards on his first nine carries as Zac Stacy was frequently inserted into the lineup. Ivory, who entered this contest averaging an NFL-best 115 yards per game on the ground, also rode the bike on the sideline and received treatment on his leg from the medical staff.
