Halftime notes

Journal photo / Bob Breidenbach
Corey Dillon is tripped up by Buffalo's Nate Clements in the first half. Dillon and Laurence Maroney combined for 89 rushing yards in the half.

-- Tom Brady was 0-for-5 passing in the second quarter and is only 3-for-11 in the game.

-- As a result, the Bills had a 97-3 edge in total passing yards in the first half. (The Pats gained 30 yards on Brady's three completions, but lost 27 yards on the three sacks recorded by Buffalo.)

-- The Pats continued to run the ball well, and have gained 112 yards on 16 carries so far. (Moroney is 5 carries/55 yards, Dillon is 8/34, Kevin Faulk is 2/20 and Brady is 1/3).

-- The only wide receiver to catch a pass in the first half was Troy Brown, for nine yards.

-- Rodney Harrison, in the first game of his comeback, has five tackles.
