The storyline
Some guy named Randy Moss played for the Patriots for three seasons and caught like 50 TD passes and then got traded a few weeks back to unite with Brett Favre. And he returns on Halloween in Massachussets. Oh, and Favre's Iron Man streak could be over. Otherwise, just your average out-of-conference football game.
Why you should watch
Is there any reason not to? Brady vs. Favre (maybe). Favre vs. the cold (maybe). Moss vs. Pats Nation (definitely). The Patriots fans' full ire can be trained at Moss.
