* Final two kneel-downs not included

QUICK HITS: Last week, WR Donte' Stallworth played in just nine snaps, this week the number increased to 39 as he was part of more two-wide packages ... WR Randy Moss has played in 89 of the first 127 snaps of the season, as he's clearly emerged as the No. 1 option. ... For the second straight week, TE Benjamin Watson led the way in snaps played. ... For the most part, the Patriots split the running back snaps by series.
