--CB Leigh Bodden drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty following an interception Sunday because he celebrated too much by posing for a fake photograph, taken by teammate Patrick Chung.

--LB Jerod Mayo registered his first career sack Sunday when he dropped Peyton Manning for an 11-yard loss during the second quarter.

--WR Randy Moss became the seventh player in NFL history to reach 14,000 receiving yards. He entered the game needing 87 yards and smashed that total in the first half with 133 yards on four catches.

--QB Tom Brady moved into 20th place on the NFL's all-time touchdown list with two touchdowns Sunday, giving him 214 for his career and pushing him past John Brodie.

REPORT CARD VS. COLTS

PASSING OFFENSE: A -- Tom Brady certainly wasn't the problem Sunday, nor was Randy Moss. Brady threw three touchdown passes for a total 375 yards on 29 of 42 passing. Moss, meanwhile, racked up 179 receiving yards with two touchdowns. The Patriots essentially had their way with Indianapolis' secondary, except on the final drive when it mattered most.

RUSHING OFFENSE: C -- Laurence Maroney's fumble in the red zone loomed as an even bigger play than normal in the aftermath of Sunday's loss. The Patriots would've had a touchdown on that drive. Maroney ended up with just 31 yards on 12 carries, whereas Kevin Faulk did most of the damage with 79 yards on only 12 carries.

PASS DEFENSE: C -- Most of Peyton Manning's struggles were of his making, though the Patriots were opportunistic enough to come up with two interceptions. In the end, though, Manning threw four touchdowns and totaled 327 yards on 63 percent passing, which is less than mediocre by any stretch.

RUSH DEFENSE: B -- The running game wasn't much of a factor, so it's hard to determine how well the Patriots would've done in a scenario in which the game was close throughout. Indianapolis only ran the ball 18 times. The lone touchdown came in the closing seconds on Joseph Addai's 1-yard plunge.

SPECIAL TEAMS: A -- With Wes Welker's 69-yard punt return and Stephen Gostkowski nailing two field goals, the Patriots had a productive night on special teams. Unfortunately for them, the game came down to sloppy defense in the closing minutes and a curious coaching decision.

COACHING: D -- You can debate whether or not this was a good call all you want, but the bottom line is Bill Belichick rolled the dice going for the first down on fourth-and-2 from his own 28 late in the game. The plan backfired and the Colts essentially walked into the end zone to win the game. More so than anything else, this call showed Belichick's lack of trust in the defense, which may be more damaging than the loss itself.
