FoxSports: Despite the death of his father this week, QB Matt Cassel will start for the Patriots. The Patriots have just 16
negative rushing plays on the season, which is the fewest in the
NFL. And New England's 44 accepted penalties are the fewest in the
NFL and the team is on pace to break the NFL record for a 16-game
season, set by the Seahawks last season with 59 penalties. This
will mark NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's first visit to an
Oakland home game; former Commish Paul Tagliabue never attended a
game here. Raiders owner Al Davis was injured in a fall last
Thursday in San Diego and was hospitalized for a number of days.
He may need a wheelchair in order to attend today's game. He
wasn't in the office this past week.
