After forcing the Bengals to punt, the Patriots needed just five plays to go 72 yards before Tom Brady hit Wes Welker for a 9-yard touchdown pass on a screen. It took just 2:51 seconds, and the big play of the drive was a 45-yard pass to rookie Aaron Hernandez, who made the big gainer his first NFL catch.
Welker, who had offseason surgery to repair a torn ACL, had two catches on the drive. After the first, he was given a standing ovation from the Gillette crowd.
