![Larry Fitzgerald has 32 receptions for 422 yards and four touchdowns this season. He is four receptions shy of becoming the fifth fastest player to 800 career receptions.

![After leading the NFL in third-down conversions in 2012 (48.7 pct), Tom Brady's Patriots offense ranks 28th in the NFL on third down (37.5 pct). During New England's last three games, they have gone 7 for 39 (17.9 pct) on third down. The Bengals and Jets are most appreciative.
The Patriots rush defense has suffered since the loss of Vince Wilfork. Weeks 1-4 with Wilfork, they allowed 105.0 rushing yards per game, including seven runs of 10+ yards. Weeks 5-7 without Wilfork, the Patriots have allowed 156.7 rushing yards per game, including 11 runs of 10+ yards.](https://res.cloudinary.com/nflleague/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/league/hfke4pfhszfzppbjpfdv.jpg)
