Halftime Check In

FOXBORO - New England's up 10-3 at the break but the Bears have to feel like things coulda/woulda/shoulda been a lot different.

They had a successful field goal wiped out by penalty to be replaced by a blocked field goal. Two iffy pass defense plays by the Patriots on the same drive went uncalled (one in the end zone), on the next drive, they fumbled at the New England 7.

Of course, New England can play the same game since they were going in to score when Todd Johnson drilled Pats tight end Ben Watson at the end of the second New England drive and the ball popped out and was picked off by Charles Tillman.

Later, Pats rookie Laurence Maroney fumbled at the Bears 11.

Looking into the second half, the Pats have lost linebacker Junior Seau and tackle Ryan O'Callaghan while Chicago is possibly without safety Todd Johnson who was shaken up.
