FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - The New England Patriots were fundamentally sound in their highest-scoring exhibition game ever, considering the late start to training camp. That pleased coach Bill Belichick, although he said Friday there's a lot of work to be done following the team's 47-12 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night in the preseason opener. Less than two weeks after their first practice in pads, the Patriots committed just four penalties, didn't allow a touchdown and scored six. Bel |

The second-string QB completed 15-of-21 passes for 171 yards, including an 11-yard score to Taylor P |

"They have to have Internet and they have to have Xbox and that's about it," Ochocinco said Tuesday, unsure of how exactly he will go about picking the lucky fan. Trying to get acclimated to the Boston area, Ochoci |
