NUMBER OF THE WEEK IS 4


Hours after Dallas' Terrell Owens caught four touchdown passes against Washington, the Patriots' Randy Moss caught four in the first half against Buffalo. The Cowboys scored 28 points in their victory over the Redskins. The Patriots, 56-10 winners in Buffalo, scored their 28th point with more than six minutes remaining before halftime.
The two best teams in the NFC -- Dallas and Green Bay -- combined for 59 points in defeating their Week 11 opponents. New England scored its 56th point against the Bills barely a minute into the fourth quarter, enough for coach Bill Belichick to sit quarterback Tom Brady.
Only the Patriots are good enough to run up the score in the second and third quarters. Their victory, featuring the most points by a road team since 1973, drove home a point that needed no more driving home. In 2007, there's the Patriots, and then there's everyone else.
