The defense had carried the Patriots all day long, so it was only fitting that the offense finally bear some of the scoring burden against the Cincinnati Bengals. Running back Rex Burkhead broke free late in the fourth quarter against his former team for a 33-yard touchdown run.

There's nothing quite like putting the final nail in the coffin against your former team. It's also a glimmer of hope for an otherwise struggling Patriots running attack to finally hang its hat on.
