Here's how Sports Illustrated football writer Peter King ranks what interests him most about this week's games in his weekly Game Plan column. The top two items both have to do with the Patriots-Jets game.

Ten Things I'll Be Watching For This Weekend

1. Darrelle Revis vs. Randy Moss. Revis said he covered Moss man-to-man in their first meeting in September, when Moss caught four passes for a measly 24 yards and no touchdowns. Moss said Revis had safety help. Then Revis said he did not. Then Moss said he did too. Then Bill Belichick said he had safety help. Then Revis said he did not. Then, thank the Lord, Revis said Wednesday, "That question is dead from now on.'' Play the game already.

2. Sebastian Vollmer. Never heard of him? Second-round Patriots left tackle. Took over when Matt Light went down a month ago with a knee injury. On Sunday night against Dwight Freeney, Vollmer allowed exactly one quarterback pressure and broke Freeney's nine-game streak with at least one sack. The Patriots had to help right tackle Nick Kaczur more on Robert Mathis on Sunday than they had to help Vollmer on Freeney.

German kid. Speaks English with a German-Texas twang after spending four years at the University of Houston. Faces an interesting challenge this week with the Jets' changeup pass-rush. At 6-foot-8 and with arms like a power forward, he's a very, very interesting long-term prospect.
