"Vrabel started the postgame address to his team with a credit to their mentality while playing away from Gillette Stadium. "I don't know what else needs to be said. It's about being road warriors," Vrabel told the team. "We'll play wherever they want us to play." Having credited both offense and defense for their respective performances in the victory against Tennessee, Vrabel then tried to bring the moment to a close."

The locker room erupted in celebration and a team cheer followed. Maye completed 21 of 23 passes (91.3 percent), setting a Patriots regular-season single-game completion percentage record (min. 20 attempts).
