| and (AP) - The NFL's first regular-season trip overseas was every bit as sloppy as it was predictable. Eli Manning threw for only 59 yards but ran for New York's lone touchdown to lift the Giants to a mud-caked 13-10 victory over the still-winless Miami Dolphins. The Giants allowed only 254 yards and held the Dolphins out of the end zone for the first 58 minutes for a victory that only the winners could view as anything remotely beautiful. Miami pulled within 13-10 when Cleo Lemon hit Ted Ginn Jr. for a |

Brady had been noticeably absent during media availability at Pats camp last week, after photos earlier in the week showed the QB with a walking boot on his right foot. Sunday's clash with the New York Giants will mark New England's fourth trip to the big game in the past seven seasons. The Patriots are bidding to become the second team in NFL history to finish a regular season and playoff season without a loss, joining the 1972 Miami Dolphins, who were 17-0. |

The Patriots certainly have the right to celebrate something special if they do what no team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins has done. But don't forget what Goodell said earlier this season when the team was caught videotaping the defensive signals of the New York Jets: ``This episode represents a calculated and deliberate attempt to avoid long-standing rules designed t |

The result made the Patriots the first team to finish 16-0 since the NFL schedule was expanded in 1978, and Bill Belichick's squad also became the first to achieve perfection in a regular campaign since the 1972 Miami Dolphins went 14-0 en route to a Super Bowl title. |

PHOENIX (AP) -The last time Michael Bloomberg went to the Super Bowl was 1973, when he watched the Miami Dolphins beat the Washington Redskins to become the only team in NFL history to complete a season undefeated. The New York mayor will be rooting against a repeat of that feat when he cheers on the Giants against the unbeaten New England Patriots on Sunday. ``It's one of those things where we can all root for our team against the other team and there's nothing nasty about it,'' Bloomberg told reporte |

Sure, the Patriots are the only 18-0 team in NFL history, and a win over the New York Giants in the Super Bowl on Sunday will give them the first perfect season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins. And a fair claim on ``Best Team Ever.'' But they sure haven't been accused of piling on the points lately. Even some of the weaker opponents on the second-half schedule tested them, most notably the Ravens. New England needed a last-ditch drive a |

Brady's foot overshadowed the Patriots moving in on the first perfect NFL season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Yes, the three-time champion quarterback's persona has transcended even the Super Bowl. No matter how vigorously coach Bill Belichick and the rest of the Patriots want to ignore it, the questions about their biggest star's health will persist. Al |
