Hank Baskett . Hank Baskett . Boy, that name sounds familiar.Not quite, but the Patriots and their QB will take it. The surprise is how well the defense continues to play while Tom Terrific chips off the rust from missing virtually all of with a shredded knee. This week the Belicheats got a huge assist from Baltimore WR Michael Clayton, who dropped a fourthdown pass from our homey Joe Flacco with 28 seconds left from the Pats 14.

Along with the loss, the Raiders had to deal with another injury to McFadden, who left in the second quarter because of his ankle. Xrays were negative, but McFadden did not return and his status was unknown. He missed 19 games in his first four seasons with foot, toe, shoulder, knee and hamstring injuries..The Buffalo newspaper reported the Bills want to play an exhibition game at the Rogers Centre as soon as next season and could play two contests, including one regularseason game, here in 2009. The Bills will need the consent of 24 of the league
