Patriots back home after loss

The Patriots are back home after an overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. Tennessee comes to town with an 0-5 record. Vince Young took over late last week for Kerry Collins who hasn't played well this season. Chris Johnson is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. The defense has been good and bad. They are in the top of the NFL against the rush and the bottom against the pass. This is good for the Patriots who are a pass heavy offense. They will have trouble containing Johnson on defense. I don't think this will be as easy as it should be against an 0-5 team. They key to the game for the Pats is forcing turnovers and containing Johnson. This is a team that went 13-3 a year ago with virtually the same team. At some point they are going to start winning games. I do not think it will be this week. They could give the Pats a good game, but in the long run I think the Pats will end up with some passing TD's and pulling away in the second half. I see a 27-14 win. Is this the week Brady finally breaks out? The Titans stats against the pass would say yes. We'll see on Sunday. I think Junior Seau will See some time this week. Not a ton but enough to get his feet wet.
