The New England Patriots, head coach Bill Belichick and assistant coach Matt Patricia changed their 3-4 defense around a bit during the Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos.

"We used them both at different times for different reasons. In the end, it comes back to the players – beating blocks, making tackles, hitting the quarterback, covering the receivers. I think there's a lot more to that than there is to odd or even." The Pats set the edge with bigger players like DLs Vince Wilfork and Brandon Deaderick.

It's one of those things where you just have to sit and see what happens," Wilfork said with respect to a lockout. "But I can tell you one thing, 18 games don't make no sense. Eighteen games turns into 20 games because the two preseason games you have to play your veterans and your starters. So that's 20 games. If you look at it from that standpoint, it's a stupid thing. It's just too stupid to be adding games."
