The opening play of the second half saw Tom Brady hit Wes Welker for 73 yards down the seam to the Jets’ six yard line. Two plays later, the Patriots nearly had their second turnover in the red zone after Deion Branch appeared to fumble the ball on a catch he made from his knees.
Upon review, the play was ruled down by contact, and Branch got a Brady touchdown pass on the next play to give the Pats a 17-7 lead.
