"I want to thank the fans for their support," he said. "I definitely felt that from the time I walked on the field. We've got great fans and we've got a great owner. He's been awesome all week in a tough situation."

The way the Patriots played Sunday night, they didn't need [Bill Belichick]'s spying against a San Diego team that finished 14-2 last season but lost to New England 24-21 in its first playoff game.

Moss, who had nine catches for 183 yards and a touchdown in an identical 38-14 win over the Jets last week, had eight more for 105 yards and 23 and 24-yard TD catches. [Wes Welker] had eight catches for 91 yards, including a 34-yarder on the first drive of the game that set up [Tom Brady]'s seven-yard TD pass to Benjamin Watson and got the Patriots (2-0) off to a quick start.
